Introduction to Nationality
Nationality, in law, condition or status of belonging to, or having legal identity with, a nation or state.
In various political systems a distinction is made between nationality and citizenship; the latter represents a higher political status, usually involving rights to full participation in governmental affairs. Nationals were classed as citizens and noncitizens in ancient Greece and Rome, with citizens often forming a minority of the population; this distinction still prevails in some countries. Although the term national is not used in the U.S. Constitution, the law recognizes as nationals of the U.S. all citizens and certain groups of noncitizens who owe permanent allegiance to the U.S. The latter group includes persons born in an outlying U.S. possession, such as American Samoa. See Citizen; Naturalization." (1)
Nationality in the CEDAW
Article 9 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) stipulates, in relation to Nationality, that all countries are required to ensure that women have equal rights with men regarding nationality, and the nationality of their children. CEDAW underlines in particular that a woman's nationality should not be determined by the nationality of her husband.
A "Sujet Mixte": International Incident
In the book "International Incidents for Discussion in Conversation Classes", in relation to this subject, L. Oppenheim wrote in 1909: Felix Brown was born in London of German parents in 1875. He was brought up in English schools and considered himself an Englishman, although he knew that he was of German parentage and frequently went to Germany to see his grandparents.
In 1900 he was a passenger on an English vessel destined for Riga. This vessel called on her way at Stettin. While in that harbour the German police boarded the vessel and arrested Brown for having evaded military service in Germany. Brown telegraphed to the English ambassador in Berlin and asked for his intervention.
