| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to identify and discuss the legal issues on stateless persons, especially the irregular staying stateless persons in Japan. Firstly, the inaccurate registration of nationality is revealed. This is one of the reasons why the official statistics do not reflect the actual numbers of stateless persons in Japan. Moreover, that the wrong registration of nationality creates impediment for stateless persons in performing their civil life, such as registration of marriage or birth, was pointed out. Secondly, the study examined the mechanism and the challenges of the intergenerational reproduction cycle of statelessness and of irregular legal status from parent(s). Hence, an accurate nationality verification system / statelessness recognition system should be introduced to Japan. In line with this, lastly, a comparative research on the Philippines' legal framework on statelessness that maybe the most progressive one in the world was carried out.
