In international law, a stateless person is someone who is "not considered as a national by any state under the operation of its law". Some stateless people are also refugees. However, not all refugees are stateless, and many people who are stateless have never crossed an international border. At the end of 2022, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees published an estimation of 4.4 million people worldwide as either stateless or of undetermined nationality, which is 90,800 (or 2%) more than at the end of 2021. However, the data itself is not complete because UNHCR does not have data
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.

Key facts
- Ethnic group.total
- Unknown, in the many millions. UNHCR sometimes lists 4.4 million figure, but this estimate is about XXA designated stateless people who have been officially determined as stateless by state actors. True number is unknown due to how state actors that cause mass statelessness do not cooperate on data collection. UNHCR data is incomplete.
