Citizenship is a person’s enjoyment of rights and duties, and their
exercise in a specific geographical area, which has specific borders, known at
the present time as the modern nation-state that is based on the rule of law.
In the state of citizenship, all citizens are equal in rights and duties, and
there is no discrimination between them because of differences in religion,
gender, colour, race, social location, etc.
Citizenship under private international law is that an individual is a
member of a particular political community or a particular country. Usually,
the "nationality bond", which is the international basis for citizenship in the
light of which it is determined who is an Iraqi or not. It is clear that each state
has its legal foundations and rules, which are usually regulated by law by its
internal legislature, and according to which the grounds for granting or
depriving them of citizenship are determined. In addition, the state may not
deprive any of its nationals of their citizenship as long as they enjoy the
citizenship arbitrarily or without right except for extreme reasons. Which
requires depriving him of it, and this is what was confirmed by the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 in Article 15 of it.
