International foundation of citizenship Under Private international law

Abstract

Citizenship is a person’s enjoyment of rights and duties, and their exercise in a specific geographical area, which has specific borders, known at the present time as the modern nation-state that is based on the rule of law. In the state of citizenship, all citizens are equal in rights and duties, and there is no discrimination between them because of differences in religion, gender, colour, race, social location, etc. Citizenship under private international law is that an individual is a member of a particular political community or a particular country. Usually, the "nationality bond", which is the international basis for citizenship in the light of which it is determined who is an Iraqi or not. It is clear that each state has its legal foundations and rules, which are usually regulated by law by its internal legislature, and according to which the grounds for granting or depriving them of citizenship are determined. In addition, the state may not deprive any of its nationals of their citizenship as long as they enjoy the citizenship arbitrarily or without right except for extreme reasons. Which requires depriving him of it, and this is what was confirmed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 in Article 15 of it.
