hello there, a warm welcome. the united nations is warning of a crisis of statelessness. for syrian refugees in neighboring states. the u.n.h.c.r. says that around the world a child is born stateless at least every ten minutes. now u.n.h.c.r. researchers talk to children in seven countries about the experience of growing up without the rights that go with nationality. most stateless people belong to minority groups discrimination on the basis of ethnicity, race, religion, or gender, is the major cause of statelessness. u.n.h.c.r. is also warning that a growing number of syrian children are at risk of statelessness, because the nationality goes through the father, and many refugee children have no father, and no birth certificate. dana reports from beirut on the problem facing syrian refugee children in lebanon.

these children are among a new generation of stateless people, two-year-old mohammad, one-year-old ahelp, her cousin malick, they were all born in lebanon. syrians who escape from the war, but are now faced with another crisis. she says she sees in future for her children, they don't have proper identification papers because she first has to renew her own residency and she does haven't the money to do that. >> living in remember monois very dangerous, we can't go back to syria because we have no proof that they are mine. >> for many others like them whatever money they can make is spent to survive, but with no i.d.es these children cannot enroll in schools and access to healthcare is hard. >> syrian refugees are able to register their newborn children, with the u.n., but the children risk becoming stateless, if their parents don't complete the process by

registering with the lebanese government. and for some that is a complicated process. parents need proper documentation. seem don't have marriage certificates or identifiuation, because they entered lebanon illegally. others don't have valid permits or are too poor to pay for the paperwork, and there are many that are scared to go to the syrian embassy, because they are wanted or live in opposition controlled areas. we know that 60% have not completed the necessary steps in order to ensure the rights of their child to the nationality and that's a very large number. >> there are more than 1 million in lebanon, no other country has taken in as many in relation to it's size. and remember monois now treating the crisis as a security issue.

spokesperson high there, melissa, thank you for joining us on the program. when i read some of the things that have been written in the report, i think what struck me is most is what children talked about feeling about themselves as a result of being stateless. i think a couple of them felt utterly worthless, and the report is shocking frankly. >> it is probably one of the most underreported human rights issues in the world. yet there are 1200 that are stateless. they feel like they live nowhere. they have very few rights and of course this effects children very dramatically, many of them can't go to school, neff a very -- their chance at a future in work, and in public life, is very slim, so we are demanding an end to it, it is easy to end. but laws need to be changed. >> and melissa, what are the

main barriers why is it that so many children end up being stateless? there are countries that have laws that do not allow women to pass the nationality down to their children. so particularly dramatic in the situation, where of course where men are dying. and women are arriving as refugees with with no nationality for their children. so this is a huge problem, and then you -- what we also have are countries that discriminate against minorities and do not allow them to become citizens. i am thinking about the situation in syria right now. the people are still trying to escape from there. what it will hold for these people. >> we are deeply worried we are in the fifth year of this war.

winter is coming people are -- workries about where the war is going to shift, whether the violence will come to their town. that's why you will see so many threing from syria into europe these days extremely worried that there is no chance to survive. any more in syria and very little opportunity to have a decent exile in the neighboring countries. a lot of these countries are trust frankly struggling. >> well, absolutely. we have the you refugee crisis that needs to be managed. question have to prevent these, there has to be more

investment, so that syrians refugees can have a decent life there, and don't have to feel compelled to come to europe, we are also beefing up our operations all over europe, so that when they do arrive at least they won't suffer so much around the journey. but so much more needs to be done. ultimately the war needs to be stopped. >> what about also making sure that the public around the world are still invested in seeing a solution to what is happening and that people don't get fatigues. how can we with keep people invested. >> well, i think one thing that people need to recognize, when they see a boat capsizing full of women with and children familie famin the sea, what with is behind that is desperation, that is unmanageable. no person, would be on those dangerous boats. if they could thrive where

they are. they are fleeing conditions that untenable due to huge lack of funding to the humanitarian organization like u.n.c.h.r. and to they are finally saying in europe, maybe there's a country there that will not only welcome me, where i can be safe, but also where i can put my children in school, and to work, and that's why we with are seeing such a large influx of syrians at this point in time. melissa thank you very much. >> pleasure to be with you.
