Council of Europe Convention on the avoidance of statelessness in relation to State succession

State succession can lead to the emergence of a large number of stateless persons. The treaty therefore builds upon the European Convention on Nationality (ETS No. 166) by developing more detailed rules to be applied by States with a view to preventing, or at least reducing to the extent possible, cases of statelessness arising from State succession.

Formerly known as the 'European Treaty Series'.
