Abstract

At present many countries is Europe and South America adopt nationality as the criterion of perusal law, whilst the common law jurisdictions of the Commonwealth and the USA, among others, still stand by rest of domicile. As immigration has gained ground at the expense of nationality. It may be asked, what are the respective merits of domicile and nationality as a determinant of the law to govern status and personal rights generally? Each has its merits and demerits. In this case, Jaspers had become, by virtue of his naturalisation in the City and Canton of Basic (Basel), a Swiss national for the purposes of international law, and a Swiss citizen for the purposes of Swiss law. Because Germany withdrew its nationality from Jaspers as a consequence of his naturalisation in Switzerland (in any case, Swiss law at the time required applicants for naturalisation to undertake to renounce any previous nationality), Jaspers ceased to be both a German national and a German citizen, while remaining German in ethnic terms.
