The Right to Asylum in International Law

Nationality is a fundamental concept in international law, serving as the legal bond between an individual and a state. It determines membership in a state, confers certain rights and protections, and imposes specific obligations. Despite its importance, the lack of uniformity in state laws regarding nationality has historically led to significant challenges, including statelessness and double nationality. This paper explores the definitions and meanings of nationality, the development and importance of nationality laws, and the distinctions between nationality, domicile, and citizenship. Key legal cases and international conventions that have shaped the understanding and regulation of nationality are also discussed.
