Birth Records - Every Child Has Got the Right of Getting Named

It has been stated by the United Nations Convention on Children's rights that having a name and nationality is the unquestioned right of each and every child and the responsibility of insuring this basic right actually lies on federal or the state government. Birth records are therefore documented as well as maintained safe for protecting the national statistics and the true identity of all the citizens of the state.

A speech had been made by Archbishop Desmond Tutu at the United Nations demanding the citizenship right for every child. In spite of the laws and the statues of UN convention regarding the registration of the birth records almost about "510 hundred" babies have not been registered at their birth time. This particular amount is above 2/5 of the total births throughout the world.

Countries lacking birth records have emerged with the retrospective registration of all the kids having unregistered official births. Even though this process doesn't ensure all the findings of the unregistered births but still a chance has been offered for all the children and the adults to have their registration with the states and the nationality that they have.

At present, lives of almost "110-120 hundred thousand" people around the world have been affected by statelessness. As the large number of these stateless individuals are the youth, kids and babies so they face nationality problems while they live in their birth region and the habitual residence. If these birth records' statistics remain unnoticed then certainly the challenge will be put in front of the "first world countries" and they will have to deal with the increasing count of the stateless people who might try to seek the nationality of some other country.
