22. The Committee is concerned that most stateless persons, mainly Roma and third-country nationals, remain stateless owing to the complicated statelessness determination procedures, which put children at a high risk of inheriting the stateless status of their parents, despite the legislative guarantee of Italian citizenship to those children born in Italy. It is also concerned about the slow progress in adopting legislation to address these issues (arts. 2 and 24).

23. The State party should take the measures necessary to simplify the statelessness determination procedures, reform the citizenship law and expedite the adoption of appropriate legislation designed to reduce statelessness.
