Over the past two decades, denationalisation – the controversial practice of revoking citizenship from unwanted citizens – has re-entered Western law and politics with astonishing haste. In this book, Christian Prener traces this remarkable development in the United Kingdom, Denmark, France and the United States and offers a timely and critical examination of the legal, moral, and political acceptability of citizenship revocation in response to acts of misconduct or disloyalty. Through an exploration of contemporary practices, caselaw and theory, the book distils some of the hard questions posed by the Western revival of denationalisation within international human rights law, moral philosophy and political theory as it probes the lawfulness, efficacy, and political legitimacy of revoking citizenship in the 21st century.

Vouloir étudier le retour de quelques milliers de Palestiniens dans les zones autonomes de Cisjordanie et de la bande de Gaza après les accords d'Oslo, c'est se heurter à la difficulté de nommer le phénomène. La langue française n'offre guère de terme adéquat pour traduire l'arabe "'a'ïdûn" ou l'anglais "returnee", deux vocables communément utilisés dans les Territoires pour désigner ceux qui sont venus ou revenus s'installer en Palestine après 1993.

This paper focuses on situations in which a person is said never to have had the nationality of a country, even though (s)he assumed (and in many cases the authorities of the country concerned shared that assumption) that (s)he possessed that nationality. Contrary to situations of loss of nationality, where something is taken away that had existed, quasi-loss involves situations in which nationality was never acquired. This contribution seeks to examine whether a person should under certain circumstances be protected against quasi-loss of nationality. In order to do so, the paper first maps out situations of quasi-loss in EU member states, describing typical cases in which a person never acquired the nationality of the country, although (s)he was at some time considered as a national. Drawing on this taxonomy, the paper attempts to uncover whether national, European and international laws offer some protection, and if yes, to which extent, for situations of quasi-loss. It concludes with outlining best practices which Member States should comply with in handling such situations.

Resort by the state to measures of exclusion and expulsion from the territory of the UK and/or from British citizenship have multiplied over the past decade, following the so-called 'War on Terror', increased globalisation, and the growing politicisation of national policies concerning immigration and citizenship. This book, which focuses on the law and practice governing deportation, removal and exclusion from the UK, the denial of British citizenship, and deprivation of that citizenship, represents the first attempt by practitioners to provide a cohesive assessment of UK law and practice in these areas. The undertaking is a vital one because, whilst these areas of law and practice have long existed as the hard edge of immigration and nationality laws, in recent years the use of some powers in this area has greatly increased and such powers have arguably expanded beyond secondary existence as mere mechanisms of enforcement. The body of law, practice and policy created by this process is one which justifies treatment as a primary concern for public lawyers. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the law in these areas and its background. This involves a consideration of interlocking international and regional rights instruments, EU law and the domestic regime. It is a clear and comprehensive everyday guide for practitioners and offers an invaluable insight into likely developments in this dynamic area of public law. '.deserves to be on the bookshelves of all those who seek to practise within this carefully defined area of immigration and nationality law.' From the Foreword by Lord Hope of Craighead KT

This paper deals with loss of citizenship of the European Union (EU) due to the loss of nationality of an EU member state. Only the nationals of a member state possess European citizenship; the loss of nationality of a member state thus also implies the loss of European citizenship. Member states are in principle autonomous in nationality matters, which means that their rules on loss of nationality, and loss of EU citizenship, differ considerably. But member states must respect international law and the general principles of European law when dealing with loss of nationality. This report aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic comparative analysis of existing regulations and procedures in EU member states with regard to the involuntary loss of nationality. These rules are also assessed in light of international and European standards, in particular with regard to the prevention of arbitrary deprivation of nationality, the principle of proportionality and procedural guarantees. The report offers recommendations for policy-makers, judges and other authorities dealing with this issue.

La France aux Français " : ce fut l'une des premières mesures mises en œuvre par le gouvernement de Vichy avec la loi du 22 juillet 1940, qui prévoyait de réviser la naturalisation de tous les Français naturalisés depuis 1927. Plusieurs centaines de milliers de personnes,1 million peut-être, étaient visées et, même s'ils n'étaient pas cités dans le texte de la loi, les Juifs en premier lieu. À partir d'une étude d'une ampleur inédite dans les archives, Claire Zalc livre une puissante analyse des effets de cette loi, depuis son application par les magistrats de la commission de révision des naturalisations, les préfets, et les maires jusqu'à ses conséquences pour ceux qui l'ont subie et se sont vus retirer la nationalité française. Au ras de la pratique administrative, elle établit comment se dessinent les visages des " mauvais Français ", et comment ceux-ci ont tenté de protester contre l'arbitraire. Elle apporte une nouvelle pièce aux débats historiographiques sur l'antisémitisme de Vichy et son autonomie vis-à-vis des pressions allemandes, mais aussi sur la continuité des pratiques et personnels entre la IIIe République, Vichy et la IVe République.
