In 2023, since the International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics were endorsed, EGRISS’ monitoring system was expanded to include statelessness statistics. Over 145 examples of planned, ongoing or completed initiatives have been identified so far. Discover more about how the recommendations are being implemented.

UN Statistical Commission

Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS)

 

The United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC), at its 47th session in 2016, established the Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS) with the initial mandate to develop International Recommendations on Refugee Statistics (IRRS). EGRISS’ mandate was later extended to develop the International Recommendations on Internally Displaced Persons Statistic (IRIS) and a Compilers’ Manual. Currently, EGRISS is implementing its third mandate, focusing on the implementation of both sets of recommendations at national, regional and international levels as well as the development of the International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics (IROSS), which were successfully endorsed at the 54th session of the UNSC in 2023. EGRISS is a multi-stakeholder group comprised by members from 57 national authorities and 37 regional and international organizations.
