Wijziging van de Rijkswet op het Nederlanderschap in verband met het intrekken van het Nederlanderschap in het belang van de nationale veiligheid

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill amends the Kingdom Act on Netherlands Nationality (Rijkswet op het Nederlanderschap) to allow the government to revoke Dutch citizenship when this is deemed necessary in the interest of national security. The title indicates the change concerns the withdrawal of nationality on security grounds, a power that is sensitive because it can end a person's citizenship. Based on metadata only, the precise conditions and safeguards are not visible here. The change would mainly affect Dutch nationals, particularly dual nationals or people whom authorities consider a security threat, such as individuals linked to terrorism. It may also have implications for statelessness and for judicial review of such decisions. Consult the full bill text for the exact scope.
