The main solutions to the problem of statelessness are prevention, reduction, and resolution. Prevention involves measures to prevent statelessness from occurring in the first place, such as ensuring that all children are registered at birth and that nationality laws are fair and inclusive. Reduction involves measures to reduce the number of stateless persons, such as providing stateless persons with access to nationality and identity documents. Resolution involves measures to resolve statelessness, such as granting stateless persons citizenship or providing them with a pathway to citizenship.
