EUROPEAN NETWORK ON STATELESSNESS TRUSTEES. REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 The Trustees present their annual report together wilh the audited financial 51alemenls of the Europeyn Nelwork On Statelessness for the year 1 January 2025 10 31 Decemb8r 2025. The European Ne￿Ork on Slatele5sness IENSI is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales on 1 September 2014 to promote the right trj a nationality and the human righls of slaleless persons. Forgword Dear colleagues and partnets, Since launching our network in 2012 we have built a thriving ecosyslern of organisalions working alongside imp8cled communities to address stalelessness in Europe. We have con515lenlty achieved impact through our mullistakeholder appro8ch and ability lo forge relationshlps and influence key policymakers. A5 demonstrated in Ihis report, 2025 wa8 no exception. ReTrecling on 2025.. Impact and resili8n¢e in a challonging Eumpe During 2025 we have dernonstraled the pow8r of principk8d, colleclNe acllon al a tlme when the Spa￿ for human rights work across Europe and globalty ha$ Continued to narrow. Against a backdrop of rising authoritarianism, restrictive migration policies, shrinking civic space. and deepening fvnding insecurity for Civil Society, we and our members worked relentlessly lo ensure that slaleless people are not rendered invisible, excluded, or forgotten. Throughout the year, we strengthened our role 8$ Europe's leading civll society voice on s18telessne88, hamessing the reach and expertise ol our Ne￿ork of over 180 members across 41 counlries. Through thi3 'multiplier effectr,, we have been able to Imnslale limited resources into tangible impact supporting legislative form, shaping policy Imp￿mentation, strength&ning legal protections, and amplifying the leadership of slalele58 peopl8 themselves. Our work addressing Roma statelessness in the Waslem Balkans exemplified this approach. Despite declining international engagement in the region. workiny with our partners, we d81ivered legal assistance, built institutional capacity, influenced EU enlargement processes, and published authoritative policy analyses mapping pathway8 to éurable solutions. This work not onty brought governments and communitles together, but also ensured statele55ness remained firrnty on the regional and European agenda at a mornenl of acute risk. AI EU level, we played a critical role in safeguarding and operationalising hard won slalelessne55 protection8 within the Migration and Asylum Pact, while forcefully challenging proposa15 that would undermine fundamental rights, including the new Returns Regulation. Through sustained engagement with the European Commission, Padiamenl, Member Ststes, and EU agencies and through coordinated national advocacy - we helFed build awareness and capacity lo protect stateless refvge85 in law and practiGe. Our tools for change continued to anchor this ?dvocacy. The Stateles5ne55 Index now tracks law and policy in 35 countrie5 and remains 3 vital tool in holding governments to account, while our litigation work - through case law monitoring, legal briefings, and supporting pracb"lioner nemrks to undertake liligalion - strengthened access to justice across Europe. Our advocacy before UN treaty bodies resulted in concrete stalelessnes5 specific recommendations to multiple governments, reinforcing international scNtiny at a lime of democratic regression. Acros5 all our work, ￿nIring slateless people ￿d9 not symbolic bul structural. From our Community Group and Palestinian Community Advisory Board to our joint Berlin conference with Slatefree, stateles5 leaders helped shape strategy, advocate directly to deCiS￿n makers, and reimagine collective power through creativity, solidarity, and shared expertise.

EUROPEAN NETWORK ON STATELESSNESS TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 Looking ahead.. sustaining momentum, widening 811iances As we entef the next phase of our work, the external challenges are stark, but our resolve is clear. Cuts to foreign aid, increasing hostility lo human rights, and intensifying displacement require new alliances, diversified funding, and renewed partner engagement. ENS will continue lo serve as a regional anchor for the Global Alliance lo End St8teles$ne$s, deepen inlerseclional partnerships, and support our members, su51ainability through joint fundraising and shared 51rategy. We wll continue to invest in internal fundraising capacity and robust financkql govemance to Sustaln both the organisalion and the wder statelessness ecosystem which v support. Above 311, we will remain focused on closing the gap be￿88n rights owed on paper and slateles5 people actually being able to enjoy these in their daity lives - holding govemmenls lo account, innovating togethei, and ensuring that stateless people are not onty protected, bul heard. empowered. and leading the Change Europe urgently needs. On beh81f of the ENS Board of Trustees and staff team, we wish lo extend h8artf8lt thanks and appreciation to all our members, portners and 5UPPOrters - we look forward to contsnued engagement with you and finding new allies as we seek to drive forward our changemaking effortsl YouryJ faithfully, Chrfs Nash, DirectOT Aleksandra Semeriak Gavrilenok, Vice£hair of Trustees and member of the ENS communlty group Jon Yure9ir, Chair of Trustees Oblectlve• and actlvltl a. Pollcle8 and obJ•¢tlv•8 Introductlon to $tst•h••n••J Slateles$ people are often rnarginali5ed, al rlsk of di$¢rimination and human rights abuses. They are denied basic rights many of us take for granted.. lo go to school, to work, lo marry. to register the birth of a child, to 'leg81ty exi5r. Slatelessnes5 occur5 for different reasons including di5CTimination, 9tate su¢¢e$5i0n, conflicts in law, and deliberate policies of deprivation or denial of nationality. All European States have inteTnalional obligations to protect stateless people and prevent 5talelessn8ss, bul this rarety translate5 into effective legal protection at national level. If Europe Is to uphold 115 tradits.ons of freedom, demo¢ra¢y, equality, rule of law and respect for human rights, it must recogni5e and address Statelessness. ENS was founded against this backdrop and filled a historical gap by acting a5 a coordinating body and expert resouice for organisations across Europe who work with or are led by stateless persons. No equNalenl Ne￿ork previously existed, and the need for such a coordinating body has been vindicated by the fact that we have attracted over 180 members since our launch. Our broad membership base equips us lo aGt a5 a key Inledoculor be￿en stateless communities, CNII society and other stakeholders - including wilh EU in5titulions and the Council of Europe and other inlergovemmental organisalions such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees IUNHCRI, AS such, ENS is able to perform a pivotal influencing and changemaking role. straddling the national, regional and international level.

The true number of those affected is undoubledty much higher, a5 a lack of data makes official estimates unreliable. Stateless people are diverse and have different identities. Slaleless people describe how a l￿fe wilhtsul a nationality c8n be marked by imrneasurable hardship. fruslralion, social exclusion, stsgma, and poor menlal health. The causes of 51atelessness include State gucces5ion, gaps, conflicts or discrimination in nationality laws and state pra¢tiGes, as well as deliberate policies to deny or strip people of nationality. Thousands ol chlldren are born stateles5 in Europe each year because Stales do not have safeguards in their laws to ensure every Child acquire8 a nationality- But slatelessness is preventable. Drawing on our awareness-raising gains over the last decade, growlng engagement by regional policymakers, and, above all, increa8ed ¢onneclivity with stal8les8 cornmunilles, we are in a strong posrtion to push for lasting law and policy reform.
