Nationality Law Pending

Syrian MP Nawar Najmeh said that a draft amendment to the citizenship law, which would grant citizenship to the children of Syrian women married to non-Syrians, had not been presented to or debated by the People’s Assembly and was not among the bills scheduled for next week. Social Affairs and Labor Minister Hind Kabawat had said the proposal had reached the approval stage. However, MP Nour Arabo confirmed that it was still under review by government bodies and had not been formally referred to parliament, and therefore had not become law. Najmeh called for the proposal to be debated in parliament and for its legal and national implications to be examined before it was circulated or any decision was made.
