Abidjan — West African nations pledged this week at a high-level meeting in Côte d’Ivoire to step up efforts aimed at resolving the situation of hundreds of thousands of stateless people in the region.
At the end of the ministerial gathering, representatives of 15 member states of the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, on Wednesday adopted a declaration on the prevention, reduction and elimination of statelessness.
