Resumo:Statelessness is a serious problem which affects millions of persons worldwide. Although it is not a new question, it was not sufficiently studied yet, specially in Brazil. This paper aims to fill this gap, by analyzing the concept, causes and consequences of statelessness. In addition, it will shed light on how the South American country deals with the persons without any nationality in its territory. The research shows how, from not addressing the question at all, Brazil passed to be a country with a newly adopted legislation on the matter, which not only recognizes stateless persons, but also offers them the Brazilian citizenship, providing an innovative solution to their plight.
