Introduction On 25 September 2024, the Kuwaiti Cabinet approved a proposal to amend the 1959 Nationality Law (No. 15), concerning the acquisition and withdrawal of Kuwaiti citizenship (1). By January 2025, thousands of Kuwaiti citizens have been stripped from their Nationality by a decision of the Higher Committee to Investigate the Kuwaiti Nationality. It is important to note that the changes, with serious implications on the rights and duties of those affected, are part of a broader context in which balances and checks on decisions of the Ruling authorities and the executive branch of the government are being exceedingly eroded. The Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR) has published a detailed analysis of the decision of the Kuwaiti Emir, Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad, in May 2024 to dissolve the Parliament. (2) In addition, amendments of the Kuwaiti constitution are planned without guarantees of public oversight as the Parliament has been dissolved since May 2024. This has created a legal limbo where the only legislative source of government becomes the Emir, without any meaningful mechanism for the public to address the decisions issued by the Court or refer to articles of the Kuwaiti Constitution to safeguard their rights. In addition, a massive repressive campaign against outspoken critics, including former parliamentary members have been ongoing to silence any dissent.The Kuwaiti authorities stated that the amendments are aimed to strengthen national identity and address perceived issues related to the acquisition of citizenship, as well as concerns about national security and the integrity of the Kuwaiti nationality.
