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.
