LONDON - AlertNet, the free award-winning humanitarian news service run by Thomson Reuters Foundation covering crises worldwide, brings you special coverage on statelessness.
Rejected by the countries they call home and denied the most basic of rights, stateless people live in a shadowy limbo -- in the words of one such person, like being "between the earth and the sky".
Up to 15 million people are stateless, not recognised as nationals by any country. They are some of the most invisible people on the planet -- an anonymity the United Nations hopes to lift when it launches an international campaign on Thursday to highlight their plight.
