PRINCIPLES on Deprivation of Nationality as a National Security Measure

Documents

Author: Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion

Preview

Description: The Principles on Deprivation of Nationality as a National Security Measure were developed in response to a 21st Century trend of a small, but growing number of States resorting to deprivation of nationality as a counterterrorism and national security measure. The Principles restate or reflect international law and legal standards under the UN Charter, treaty law, customary international law, general principles of law, judicial decisions and legal scholarship, regional and national law and practice.

At a time when the institution of citizenship is increasingly under threat, the Principles serve to remind us of the longstanding and strong international law framework which obligates States to respect, protect, promote and fulfil everyone’s right to a nationality; and which recognises the importance of doing so, in order to also protect other fundamental human rights.
