UN condemns the Netherlands over failed protection of stateless child The UN human rights committee has found that the Netherlands violated a child’s rights by failing to acknowledge that he was stateless and eligible for international protection. The case involves a boy named Denny, born in the Dutch city of Utrecht in 2010 to a stateless Chinese mother who was trafficked to the Netherlands. With nothing to prove that her son was without a nationality, Denny was registered as “nationality unknown” and they were put in a centre for refused asylum seekers with young children, under a permanent threat of deportation.
