Summary/Abstract: Statelessness is widespread in the modern world and is one of the essential problems of domestic and international law. Due to the sensitivity of the issue and for political reasons, many countries do not provide correct information on the number of stateless persons. According to numerous scientific studies and UN surveys, the number of stateless persons worldwide is between 9 and 11 million. This article examines the international legal norms regulating the status of stateless persons, as well as options for reducing and limiting statelessness. The factual situation in the Republic of Bulgaria is presented. It concludes by proposing guidelines for improving minimum standards for the protection of stateless persons.
