Summary/Abstract: As a social category, statelessness has found its place both in the international and in the national legislation of every state. From the internal point of view - through the right to citizenship, that is, through the confirmation of the sovereignty of states, and from the international point of view, as the human rights legislation, a reaction of the international community to the specific status of stateless persons. Thus, with the entry of international legislation into the domain of this problem, the idea is “promoted” that states should commit themselves to find, by reforming the right to citizenship, appropriate instruments that will effectively influence the reduction of the number of stateless persons, as well as help decrease the number of new stateless persons. The international community is striving to use its legal instruments not only to improve the status and position of stateless persons by “extending” the list of available rights, but also to determine the modes and measures, the application of which would lead to the reduction of statelessness as a phenomenon, including direct involvement of states in taking measures with the aim of preventing the spread of statelessness.
