Focusing on the case of Shamima Begum, Weston addresses the escalation of nationality deprivation powers in the UK. She exposes the gaps in due process which undermine the effectiveness of appeal rights, especially of British citizens deprived ‘in absentia’, and contribute to a global trend which sees citizenship status devalued and under threat. AMANDA WESTON QC is a leading public law barrister with an outstanding track record in complex, sensitive and contentious judicial review in a broad range of fields including national security and unlawful detention, citizenship and statelessness, immigration and asylum, minority and disability discrimination and civil liberties, prisoners’ rights, community care and Court of Protection.
