A 1954 Convention travel document is a travel document issued to a stateless person by a signatory to the 1954 Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons. The cover bears the words Travel Document in English and French (and often in the language of the issuing state) along with the date of the convention, but does not bear the two black stripes appearing in the upper right corner of the front cover of refugee travel documents.
Famous quotes containing the words convention, travel and/or document:
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
“Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
