首先要分清楚國際nationality同citizenship公民權
國際法只係禁止國家將公民變成stateless
例如1954年簽署的《無國籍人士地位公約》: 「一、本公約所稱“無國籍人”一詞是指任何國家根據它的法律不認為它的國民的人。」
stateless一般係指無國籍人士(persons without nationality)
而唔係無公民權(without citizenship)或者居留權(right of abode)
國際法無禁止將國民分成唔同公民。
《無國籍人士地位公約》只包括「法理無國籍」(de jure stateless)
並不包括「實質無國籍」(de facto stateless)
原因係簽署國家對於「實質無國籍」是否應被納入無國籍公約的範圍內具有重大保留
因此,British Nationality Act 1981無剝奪香港人既國籍nationality
BNO香港人繼續係British subjects,
所以British Nationality Act 1981好難話違反國際法
唯一問題就係97之後非華籍人士例如南亞人如果無拿BNO
就會因爲拿唔到Chinese nationality而變成stateless
作爲補償,《英國國籍法》第4B條容許沒有其他國家公民權或國籍的英國國民(海外)亦可登記成為英國公民:
“4B Acquisition by registration: certain persons without other citizenship
This section applies to a person who has the status of—
[…]
(d) British National (Overseas)
(2) A person to whom this section applies shall be entitled to be registered as a British citizen if—
(a) he applies for registration under this section,
(b)the Secretary of State is satisfied that the person does not have, apart from the status mentioned in subsection (1), any citizenship or nationality, and
(c)the Secretary of State is satisfied that the person has not after the relevant day renounced, voluntarily relinquished or lost through action or inaction any citizenship or nationality
(3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(c), the “ relevant day ” means—
(a)in the case of a person to whom this section applies by virtue of subsection (1)(d) only, 19th March 2009, and
(b)in any other case, 4th July 2002.”
值得一提既就係《英國國籍法》裏面既or其實係要求申請人需要同時喪失國籍同公民權,而唔係其中一項
所以英國其實一路都跟國際法跟得好貼
無做多亦都無做少
