Formal Equality in the Context of the Reacquisition of Nationality: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Abstract: Reacquisition of nationality under the Iraqi nationality legislation and comparative laws has determined the effective date of reacquisition either from the date of return or from the date of submitting the application, depending on the cases of optional reacquisition. Accordingly, legislations have differed in the extent to which the principle of equality between men and women is applied with respect to the date of reacquisition in optional cases and the legal effects that result therefrom.
