apatride

Also known as stateless

statut d'une personne qui n'a la nationalité d'aucun pays

AI overview

Statelessness occurs when a person is not recognized as a citizen by any country under international law, a condition that can affect people regardless of whether they've crossed borders or fled their homes. This matters because stateless individuals—estimated at 4.4 million worldwide as of 2022—lack the legal protections and rights that citizenship typically provides, though the true number may be higher since complete global data is not yet available.

Un apatride est, selon la convention de New York du 28 septembre 1954, « toute personne qu'aucun État ne considère comme son ressortissant par application de sa législation ». Plus simplement, un apatride est une personne dépourvue de nationalité, qui ne bénéficie de la protection d'aucun État. Il y aurait plus de 12 millions d'apatrides, selon le Haut Commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés (HCR). Le mot « apatride » est composé du préfixe privatif a- et du grec patris (« terre des ancêtres »). Le terme allemand heimatlos, dont il est le synonyme, s'utilise en français pour désigner les Allemands ayant fui l'Allemagne nazie durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
