The Constitutional and Legislative Position on the Prohibition of Dual Nationals from Holding Sovereign Positions under the Current Iraqi Constitution of 2005.

Abstract

Abstract: Dual citizenship is a common issue in many countries, acquired either by birth, naturalization, marriage, or through state policies that allow citizens to hold another nationality without losing their original nationality. Dual citizenship is the legal status in which an individual holds two or more nationalities simultaneously, granting them legal rights and obligations in more than one country. The current Iraqi Constitution of 2005 and Nationality Law No. 26 of 2006 prohibit dual nationals from holding high-level sovereign and security positions.
