5. Recalling paragraphs 10–12 of its guidelines for reporting under the Convention (CERD/C/2007/1), the Committee recommends that the State party provide statistical data in its next periodic report on:
(a) The ethnic composition of the population, disaggregated in the manner specified in article 1 (1) of the Convention, on the basis of self-identification of ethnic groups, including data on non-citizens such as migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons;
(...)
15. Reiterating its previous concluding observations (CERD/C/JOR/CO/13–17, paras. 12–13), the Committee urges the State party to:
(a) Put an end to the withdrawal of nationality from persons from the Occupied Palestinian Territory and restore the nationality of those who have been affected by that practice. Provide detailed information in its next periodic report on the legal status of persons who have had their nationality withdrawn and the consequences with regard to the enjoyment of their rights under the Convention;
17. Reiterating its previous concluding observations (CERD/C/JOR/CO/13-17, paras. 12–13), the Committee urges the State party to:
(...)
(f) Take measures to prevent statelessness and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation and abuse. Ensure the proper registration of the births of children of Syrian refugees and asylum seekers and provide the necessary identity documentation. Consider acceding to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness;
(...)
23. Recalling its general recommendation No. 30 (2004) on discrimination against non-citizens, especially paragraph 16 on reducing statelessness, in particular among children, the Committee recommends that the State party bring its legislation into line with the Convention and, to this end, amend the Jordanian Nationality Act (law No. 6 of 1954) to eliminate provisions that discriminate against non-Arab spouses of Jordanian citizens and to include provisions allowing all Jordanian women to transmit their citizenship to their children from birth, without discrimination.
