Nationalitylaw 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, nationalitylaw 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. International Treaties International law generally recognizes the right of states to set their own policy concerning nationality. ref name Elgar Gerard Ren de Groot, NationalityLaw, in ELGAR ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMPARATIVE LAW 476 492,479 Jan Smiths ed., 2006 . ref Nevertheless, there are a number of international treaties that are relevant to nationalitylaw. ref name Elgar ref See also Citizenship Act Citizenship History of citizenship Jus soli Jus sanguinis Dual nationalityNationality Passport Immigration law Political asylum Human migration References reflist Nationality laws Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Category Nationalitylaw cs Naturalizace fr Droit de la nationalit ja tr Vatanda l k hukuku ... more details
