The plight of the Rohingya, a persecuted minority from western Myanmar, highlights basic yet underexamined links between statelessness and mass atrocities. In turn, the Rohingya case underscores how statelessness matters to law and practice regarding atrocity prevention, and suggests that norms to prevent statelessness and secure nationality rights warrant greater emphasis in the field of atrocity prevention.

Few African countries provide for an explicit right to a nationality. Laws and practices governing citizenship effectively leave hundreds of thousands of people in Africa without a country. These stateless Africans can neither vote nor stand for office; they cannot enrol their children in school, travel freely, or own property; they cannot work for the government; they are exposed to human rights abuses. Statelessness exacerbates and underlies tensions in many regions of the continent. Citizenship Law in Africa, a comparative study by two programs of the Open Society Foundations, describes the often arbitrary, discriminatory, and contradictory citizenship laws that exist from state to state and recommends ways that African countries can bring their citizenship laws in line with international rights norms. The report covers topics such as citizenship by descent, citizenship by naturalisation, gender discrimination in citizenship law, dual citizenship, and the right to identity documents and passports. It is essential reading for policymakers, attorneys, and activists. This third edition is a comprehensive revision of the original text, which is also updated to reflect developments at national and continental levels. The original tables presenting comparative analysis of all the continent's nationality laws have been improved, and new tables added on additional aspects of the law. Since the second edition was published in 2010, South Sudan has become independent and adopted its own nationality law, while there have been revisions to the laws in Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Namibia, Niger, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, Sudan, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child have developed important new normative guidance.

International audience ; In the post-1789 France, the definition of Nationality is complicated. Borders are not only physical. Legislation (especially French Civil Code) and administrative procedures gradually tend to specify Rights and Duties of each individual according to its status: French or foreigner, Refugee or No refugee, Male or Female, especially when travelling or for State protection. Staying in an in-between, refugees are anxious to assert their identity. Portuguese refugees defend a sharp nationalism while Spanish refugees claim a non-exclusive national genius where regional voices can express. We aim to show the coexistence of various interpretations of Nationality and to understand of the confrontation and reception of various refugees in France gradually describes a certain conception of French nationality based on ideology and empiricism mix. ; Dans la France post-révolutionnaire, la définition de la nationalité n'est pas univoque et les frontières ne sont pas seulement territoriales. La législation (en particulier le Code civil) et les pratiques administratives tendent progressivement à préciser les droits et devoirs de chacun selon qu'il est français ou étranger, réfugié ou non, homme ou femme, notamment dans les déplacements ou la protection étatique. Pris dans un entre-deux, les réfugiés eux-mêmes sont soucieux d'affirmer leur identité : les Portugais défendent une « pureté » de leur nation tandis que les Espagnols revendiquent un génie national peu exclusif laissant la voie à des formes d'expressions régionales. Il s'agit donc de montrer la coexistence de différentes interprétations de la nationalité et de comprendre comment la confrontation et l'accueil en France de ressortissants de différentes nations, venus de pays en proie à des guerres civiles, dessinent progressivement une certaine conception de la nationalité française, faite d'idéologie et d'empirisme.
