The UN issues passports for stateless people, and a few other governments issue passports for people who aren’t citizens. Most stateless people lack identity documents or have them which doesn’t allow them to cross borders. Most stateless people are in the middle east (not just most Palestinians), south east asia, or people of Russian ethnicity who weren’t living in Russia when the soviet union broke up who ended up with no citizenship or passport. Even the US has colonies where the residents have no country, because they’re a US colony, but they’re not US citizens either! They’re giving a non-citizen passport issued by the US government.
There’s about 4.4 million people today who are stateless. They’re almost always poor and disempowered.
