Bill on Stateless Persons Passports

Whereas the Conference on Identity Certificates for Russian Refugees of July 3-5 of 1922 established a system of emergency passports issued initially to citizens of the former Empire of Russia who had their citizenship revoked by the Government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, of which "White Russians" there are thousands and yet thousands living in Brazil,

Whereas said emergency passports have been extended to other groups of stateless individuals, such as Armenians fleeing the former Ottoman Empire (done on order of the Council of the League of Nations in 1926),

Whereas said emergency passports, created by Mr. Fridtjof Nansen, the High Commissioner for Refugees for the League of Nations who in 1922 received the Nobel Peace Prize in for his work on behalf of the displaced victims of the Great War, today are recognised as valid by at least two dozen states among the League of Nations,

• Section 1. The Stateless Persons Passports, also known unofficially as "Nansen passports", issued by the High Commissioner for Refugees for the League of Nations following the Intergovernmental Conference on Identity Certificates for Russian Refugees, shall be respected by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs and other branches of the Government and the State of the Republic of the United States of Brazil as valid for identification and travel purposes.

• Section 2. The High Commissioner for Refugees for the League of Nations and the International Labour Organisation's Refugee Service (which aids the High Commissioner since 1925, under the chairmanship of Mr. Thomas Frank Johnson) shall be offered to establish offices in the Republic of the United States of Brazil under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for the purposes of issuing and validating such Stateless Persons Passports, catering especially to those who have fled political, religious and cultural persecution in Latin American countries as well as those stateless persons of European or Asiatic origin, who are currently in Brazil but lack the documents necessary to legally leave the country.

• Section 3. This bill shall go into effect thirty-one (31) days after passage.
