Answer
The Nansen passport served as a travel document issued by the League of Nations to stateless individuals who had lost their nationality or belonged to a country that did not issue passports. Introduced by Norwegian humanitarian Fridtjof Nansen in 1922, it provided refugees with a recognized form of identification and facilitated their movement across borders, promoting international cooperation in addressing the challenges faced by displaced persons during that time.
