Amiri Decree-Law on Kuwaiti Nationality Amended
A decree-law has been issued in Kuwait amending the provisions of Kuwaiti Citizenship Law No. 15 of 1959. The amendments include removing a clause that allows for the revocation of citizenship from children and descendants if it is proven that one parent was involved in forging their citizenship. Additionally, a new article has been added to prevent individuals who have acquired citizenship through naturalization from voting, running for office, or being appointed to parliamentary bodies. It is also permitted to issue electronic citizenship certificates with the same legal validity. The provision that contradicts this is to be repealed. The law is to be implemented by the competent authorities and published in the Official Gazette.
