2016] The Prevention and Reduction of Statelessness in Australia 503 have an impact on the rights of other States’,289 any analysis of the legality of depriving an individual of nationality must go beyond the provisions of the 1961 Convention alone. For instance, the implications of deprivation of nationality resulting in statelessness may undermine states’ obligations under certain treaties relating to ‘terrorist acts’290 (eg, with respect to ‘the obligations of investigation and prosecution, in the fulfilment of which every other State party has a legal interest’),291 and may also violate the rights of other states. Such violations may arise ‘in a number of contexts, including deportation, refusal of re-admission, human rights, the obligations of the [state] with regard to the prosecution of international crimes, and applications for protection abroad.’292 The general position in international law is captured succinctly by Goodwin-Gill. He explains that a state ‘has no right … to deport a person whom it has made stateless to any State which has not expressly agreed to admit the individual’, or ‘to refuse to readmit a former … citizen who has been deprived of his or her citizenship while present in another country’.293 A state that seeks to export citizens believed to have committed ‘terrorist acts’ will likely violate its obligations relating to the prevention and prosecution of international criminal conduct,294 and a state that has admitted someone ‘on the basis of [their] passport would be fully entitled to ignore any purported deprivation of citizenship and, as a matter of right, to return that person’.295 Goodwin-Gill suggests that it is not inconceivable that a person deprived of nationality in such circumstances could qualify for refugee status.296 The Allegiance to 289 Goodwin-Gill, Further Comments, above n 187, 5 [19].
