The Canadian Summit on Statelessness touches many lives of human populations across the planet. These people do show patterns and conform to visible cohorts of humans, negated by being part of a State, as set out in the Chart of individual rights proclaimed by the system of the United Nations. By becoming stateless these peoples are discriminated against by colonial powers. 
In this Summit, we are trying to visibilize these affected communities, develop linkages among them and scholars and human rights advocacy fighters. However, most of all, we want to talk about these issues that have been 'forgotten' by capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal States' authorities. And despite the vile and cruel discriminatory practices of these states, we want to show these stateless agents that they do matter to academics, researchers, and those that are committed to justice for all.
