Description: The appellant is a former USSR national, living in Latvia. The case is concerned with whether Latvia’s refusal of citizenship to a person who had criticised the Government, constituted a punitive measure in violation of that individual’s rights to freedom of expression under Article 10, freedom of assembly and association under Article 11, and effective remedy under Article 13. The Court found no violation of Articles 10 and 11 as a consequence of the act of denial of citizenship and in addition no violation of Article 13. In doing so, the Court highlighted that there is no “right to a nationality” under the ECHR.
