Report on Citizenship Law: Tanzania presumption of citizenship for foundlings i.e. children found in Tanzania of unknown parents. iii. In order to combat statelessness, Tanzania should, in accordance with its commitments in the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child170, accord nationality to children born in Tanzania if they cannot acquire the nationality of either of their parents. iv. The citizenship law in Tanzania should remove gender discrimination in relation to acquisition of citizenship on the basis of marriage to a citizen such that a Tanzanian woman is permitted to confer citizenship to her foreign husband. v. As recommended by the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights171, the citizenship law in Tanzania ought to be amended so as to provide for a judicial redress where one’s citizenship claim is denied or revoked; or where the application of any provision of the citizenship law is challenged. vi. While Tanzania has been commended for its mass naturalisation process of long-term refugees, it could go a step further by setting clear criteria under which long-term migrants may apply for citizenship. Simplified procedures could be put in place for the especially marginalised communities of Tanzania, such as the Comorians and the Makonde. vii. Considering Tanzania’s migration history and multi-racial population, as well as the evolution of its citizenship law, the lawmakers should give serious consideration to the prospect of dual citizenship. viii. As part of the East African Community (EAC) and its commitment to greater regional integration, Tanzania should consider special dispensations to East African citizens as it did for commonwealth citizens and citizens of specific African countries in its erstwhile laws. Its formerly inclusive citizenship regime would provide a notable blueprint on how the regional body should address the issue of EAC citizenship. 170 171 26 ACWRC, article 6.
