Attribution of the nationality of the successor State and withdrawal of the nationality of the predecessor State

When part or parts of the territory of a State separate from that State and form one or more successor States while the predecessor State continues to exist, a successor State shall, unless otherwise indicated by the exercise of a right of option, attribute its nationality to

Subject to the provisions of article 8, when two or more States unite and so form one successor State, irrespective of whether the successor State is a new State or whether its personality is identical to that of one of the States which have united, the successor State shall attribute its nationality to all persons who, on the date of the succession of States, had the nationality of a predecessor State.

1. The predecessor State shall withdraw its nationality from persons concerned qualified to acquire the nationality of the successor State in accordance with article 24. It shall not, however, withdraw its nationality before such persons acquire the nationality of the successor State.

When a State dissolves and ceases to exist and the various parts of the territory of the predecessor State form two or more successor States, each successor State shall, unless otherwise indicated by the exercise of a right of option, attribute its nationality to

2. A successor State may provide that persons concerned who, in relation to the succession of States, voluntarily acquire the nationality of another successor State or, as the case may be, retain the nationality of the predecessor State shall lose its nationality acquired in relation to such succession.

(ii) Persons concerned not entitled to a nationality of any State concerned under subparagraphs (a) and (b) (i) having their habitual residence in a third State, who were born in or, before leaving the predecessor State, had their last habitual residence in what has become the territory of that successor State or having any other appropriate connection with that successor State.

(ii) Persons concerned not entitled to a nationality of any State concerned under subparagraphs (a) and (b) (i) having their habitual residence in a third State, who were born in or, before leaving the predecessor State, had their last habitual residence in what has become the territory of that successor State or having any other appropriate connection with that successor State.

In the case of a pre existing link, such as place of birth, the last habitual residence in the territory of the predecessor State or any other appropriate connection of a similar nature with the successor State, the paragraph provided that successor States would attribute their nationality to all persons concerned, as the expression was defined by article 2 (f), even if they had their habitual residence in the territory of another successor State or in a third State.

In certain cases, persons might have enjoyed dual nationality under the legislation of the predecessor State, which should not necessarily be imposed on the successor State.

38. One of the main deficiencies of the text requiring review was its failure to distinguish between obligations deriving from international law, which were obligatory for the successor State, and various other solutions that the successor State might or might not adopt on the basis of its domestic law.

It provided that the successor State should attribute its nationality to persons who had their habitual residence in the transferred territory.

1. A predecessor State may provide that persons concerned who, in relation to the succession of States, voluntarily acquire the nationality of a successor State shall lose its nationality.

(i) Persons concerned not covered by subparagraph (a) having an appropriate legal connection with a constituent unit of the predecessor State that has become part of that successor State

43. The draft articles also contained a special provision on presumption regarding the acquisition of the nationality of the successor State by persons maintaining habitual residence in that State.

It might, for example, prohibit any distinction, where the nationality of a successor State was being acquired, between individuals residing in the territory of that State and other persons.

1. A successor State does not have the obligation to attribute its nationality to persons concerned who have their habitual residence in another State and also have the nationality of that or any other State.

It would be desirable to enable such persons to acquire the nationality of the successor State if they had links with it.

Compassion is a worthy successor.

Views of the successor States

Whilst States Members of the United Nations are used to addressing issues of State succession, it would appear that the extinction of a State, without there being a successor is unprecedented.

Indeed, in cases of State succession where there was more than one successor State, an obligation of result would lead to situations of dual or multiple nationality on a large scale.

The successor State (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) was admitted to the United Nations by General Assembly resolution 55 12 of 1 November 2000.
