20. While noting the high rate of birth registration reported by the State party, the Committee draws the attention to target 16.9 of the Sustainable Development Goals on providing a legal identity for all, including birth registration, and recommends that the State party:

(b) Take all necessary measures to grant Mongolian citizenship to all children residing in the State party who would otherwise be stateless, particularly Kazakh children who have returned to Mongolia;

(c) Consider ratifying the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons of 1954 and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness of 1961 and bring its legislation in line with these international instruments.
