Explaining the role of governments in developing domestic laws regarding dual citizenship from the perspective of human rights

In Iran's legal system, citizenship is an inalienable right of every Iranian in Article 41 of the Constitution, provided by the legislator. In international human rights documents, including the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the right to citizenship for an individual and the possibility of changing this right by its owner have been emphasized. Iran's citizenship rules and human rights documents provide guarantees to prevent statelessness and deprivation of citizenship by the government. In these two systems, dual citizenship is not recognized. Nevertheless, Iran's citizenship rules need serious reforms to avoid statelessness and reduce cases of double citizenship. In the international scene, considering the problems that statelessness and dual citizenship bring in the domestic and international system, and paying attention to the lack of international organizations and very effective international documents, in order to prevent, eliminate and reduce these two phenomena, countries should amend laws and regulations. their internal affairs and the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral (international) agreements seriously to resolve these two big problems and make a serious and double effort.
