To top and now with the government is working towards the goal of eradicating statelessness by two thousand and twenty four more than four hundred thousand people without citizenship are registered with the top government of the actual number though is thought to be more than three million many ethnic minorities living in border areas when hey reports from my tank. In the hills of northern thailand there are millions of people whose lives have been hanging in the balance for years people in this village in chiang mai province belong to the ethnic group whose ancestors migrated around the region centuries ago facing persecution along the way. Those living here now have been in thailand for generations but many still dont have type paperwork the village chief says he was the last person here to be granted citizenship sixteen years ago. And in the past i only had a car that identified me as a highlander but now i have a tiny nationality car im very happy when i have money i can buy everything i want i can buy a house a car im glad those things remain a dream for so many others like hmong tong d.

Who was born in thailand to parents from me and mob eight years ago he won a paper plane throwing competition and was granted a temporary passport to represent thailand at a competition in japan the government at the time promised he would be granted permanent status upon his return.

This is a very delicate job and it can slide into corruption therefore we have to be careful thats why we can only process two nationality cases per day and im a good for people waiting its not just a case of having an id card its a matter of dignity pride and a sense of belonging after generations of uncertainty when hey al jazeera may turn district thailand well lets get more on this now were joined by benjamin flocke a human right three thirty to an advocate hes joining us live from bangkok very good to have you with us on aljazeera so the Thai Government has actually granted statehood to thousands of the past few years how much progress do you think it has made. Well its made some progress but thats been largely symbolic i think the effort to eradicate stateless before twenty twenty four is long overdue and it sends a signal that there is an exercise of political will finally coming out of bangkok and its really no small thing when you consider that the real number of stateless persons in thailand is probably approaching three million and in a country of sixty six Million People its a sizable percentage a sizable increase in the c
