Abstract

The article argues that the concept of nationality, traditionally within the discretion of sovereign states, has evolved into a fundamental human right protected by international and regional human rights bodies. These bodies have developed robust jurisprudence to limit state discretion, emphasizing the importance of nationality for the enjoyment of other rights and advocating for procedural safeguards against arbitrary deprivation or denial of nationality.
