Abstract
In certain European contexts, the lack of understanding about statelessness among government officials is compounded by the absence of references to statelessness within the most up-to-date Country of Origin Information (COI) on Syria. For example, the latest Syria Country Information and Guidance report by the UK Home Office (from August 2016) does not make a single mention of the issue of statelessness despite its continued significance.
Keywords: Country of Origin Information, COI, Syria, refugees, asylum seekers, statelessness
