The Identity Rights Working Group, co-chaired by Child Identity Protection (CHIP) and the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI) is hosting a webinar series dedicated to access to justice and effective remedies for children whose identity rights have been contravened.
It is a follow-up of an expert meeting that brought together several members of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC Committee), representatives of UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, academics and persons with lived experience.
This opening webinar will focus on the profound implications imposed on children lacking birth registration, documentation, and access to nationality without discrimination, which came via direct testimony from persons with lived experience.
This webinar will be held for 90 minutes, mirroring the structure of the expert meeting with same themes and experts, where possible.

- Valeriia Cherednichenko | UNHCR (Moderator)
- Kirsten Di Martino | UNICEF
- Terry Kiairie | ATD 4th World
- Armando Augello Cupi | Unione Italiana
- Apolidi Aleksandra Semeriak | European Network on Statelessness
