UK bill: Passport to statelessness?







The UK has
passed a controversial amendment to its Immigration Bill that could be
used to strip foreign-born Britons of their citizenship.
It is now one step away from becoming law and would allow
the government to revoke the passports of naturalised citizens whose
conduct is deemed to be seriously prejudicial to the UK's interests.
Opponents say that two safeguards added to the bill still will not prevent suspects from being made permanently stateless. Legal experts also question whether this could breach international laws.
