33. The Committee strongly urges the State party to implement the Birth Registration National Action Plan promptly, and to establish intersectoral collaboration within the Government, eliminate fees and improve governance of birth registration units, to ensure that all children born within the national territory, including those living in rural and remote areas, are registered. Furthermore, the Committee urges the State party to ensure that institutional structures at all levels are accessible in all regions and free of charge, and are adapted to local realities, especially with regard to internally displaced persons and children in refugee camps. The Committee further suggests that the State party explore possibilities with the Ministry of Justice to introduce birth registration in public, private and community schools.

35. The Committee recommends that the State party:
(a) Adopt an administrative policy designed to prevent statelessness and protect stateless children;
(b) Improve the administrative practices relating to civil registration in order to reduce the risk of statelessness;
(c) Identify potential stateless children, and collect data on the number of cases of stateless children residing in the country;
(d) Accede to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness; and
(e) Amend the Law of Nationality (Law No. 6/2010) to bring it into line with the 1954 and 1961 Conventions.
