Study Notes

Citizenship Rights and Determination

  • The right to vote is NOT a universal right associated with citizenship, as some countries deny voting rights to certain citizens (e.g., felons, minors).
  • A state recognizes a person as its citizen based on the principles of jus soli (birthright citizenship) or jus sanguinis (citizenship by descent).

Determining Citizenship

  • The conditions under which a state recognizes a person as its citizen are determined by nationality laws, which vary between countries.
  • Bilateral agreements between countries can also impact citizenship determinations.

Factors in Citizenship

  • Residency is NOT a factor in determining citizenship, as citizenship is a legal status separate from residency.
  • Jus soli and jus sanguinis are key factors in determining citizenship.

Multiple Citizenship

  • Multiple citizenship, or dual citizenship, is allowed in some countries, but not all.
  • Multiple citizenship can lead to conflicting loyalties and tax implications.

Rights of Non-Citizens

  • Non-citizens generally have the right to life, liberty, and security of person, as well as freedom from arbitrary detention.
  • Non-citizens may also have the right to education, healthcare, and social services, depending on the country's laws.
