Summary/Abstract: Not only the right to a nationality is a recognized human right, but also the statelessness supposes a lack of other rights, though without a nationality, a person has no legal protection, no right to vote, no employments and no education. More than four million of stateless persons are living all over the world and more than half million in Europe. The case of the no citizen people with alien passport or persons without a determinate nationality is a particular case of statelessness in the Baltic Countries. The status of these persons based on the national legislations has its echo and influences their foreign status in other EU countries like Spain. Although UNHCR planted on abolish the statelessness until 2024, this doesn’t seem realistic, therefore urges a more implication from all the states, new practical administrative measures or new conceptions.
