11. (...) Bearing in mind its general recommendation No. 30 (2004) on discrimination against non-citizens, the Committee recommends that the State party:
(a) Intensify efforts to reduce the number of persons with undetermined citizenship, including by shortening the length of the procedure for the acquisition of citizenship;
(b) Lessen the language requirements for naturalization, in particular for older persons;
(c) Ease further the naturalization requirements for persons under 15 years of age;
(d) Raise awareness about statelessness among stakeholders and introduce mechanisms to help national and local institutions to effectively identify stateless persons;
(e) Consider ratifying the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
17. Bearing in mind the indivisibility of all human rights, the Committee encourages the State party to consider ratifying those international human rights treaties which it has not yet ratified, in particular treaties with provisions that have a direct relevance to communities that may be the subject of racial discrimination, such as... the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons (1954); the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness (1961).
