Court name: District Court Zwolle (Rechtbank Zwolle)
State: Netherlands
Date of decision:
Legal instruments: 1961 Statelessness Convention
Key aspects: Acquisition of nationality, Childhood statelessness, Residence permit
Confirmation of acquisition of Dutch nationality was wrongly refused. The court is of the opinion that the provisions from the Statelessness Convention must be regarded as provisions of international law binding on everyone, as referred to in Article 94 of the Constitution. This means that the admission requirement (of 3 years) set by the defendant is contrary to article 1 of the Convention.
