Amendments to Kuwaiti Nationality Law pose serious threats to human rights

Documents

Description: This report highlights human rights concerns over the 2024 amendments to Kuwait’s nationality law, which enable citizenship stripping without transparency and judicial oversight. Tens of thousands of people, mostly naturalised foreign wives of Kuwaiti men, have had their nationality stripped since September 2024. The report outlines the legal changes and its human rights implications for those affected, including reactions from civil society and activists. It places these latest developments within the context of the increasing erosion of checks and balances on executive power within the country and the crackdown on dissent that took place throughout 2024.
