Nationality law is the branch of law concerned with the questions of nationality and citizenship , and how these statuses are acquired, transmitted, or lost. By Customary international law custom , a Sovereign state state has the right to determine who its nationals and citizens are. Such determinations are usually made by custom, statutory law , or case law precedent , or some combination. In some cases, determinations of nationality are also governed by public international law &mdash for example, by Treaty treaties on statelessness and the European Convention on Nationality . Principles Broadly speaking, nationality law is based either on jus soli or jus sanguinis , or on a combination of the two. Jus soli Latin language Latin the law of the soil is the principle by which a child born within a country s territorial jurisdiction area jurisdiction acquires that country s nationality. Jus sanguinis Latin language Latin the law of the blood is the principle by which a child acquires the nationality of his or her parents. Today, most if not all countries apply a mixture of these two principles neither granting citizenship to everyone born within the country s jurisdiction, nor denying citizenship to the children born abroad.
