The EuropeanConvention on Nationality European Treaty Series E.T.S. No. 166, signed in Strasbourg , 6 November 1997 is a comprehensive convention of the Council of Europe dealing with the law of nationality . Common practice among states at the beginning of the 20th century was that a woman was to have the nationality of her husband thus upon marrying a foreigner she would automatically acquire the nationality of her husband, and lose her own nationality. Even once the nationality of a married woman was made no longer dependent on the nationality of her husband, legal provisions were still retained automatically Naturalization naturalising married women, and sometimes married men as well. This could lead to a number of problems, including loss of the spouses original nationality, the spouse losing the right to consular assistance since consular assistance cannot be provided to nationals under the jurisdiction of a foreign state of which they are also nationals , and becoming subject to military service obligations. For these reasons, the Convention provides that neither marriage nor dissolution of marriage shall automatically affect the nationality of either spouse article 4d . Article 5 provides that no discrimination shall exist in a state s internal nationality law on the grounds of sex, religion, race, colour or national or ethnic origin . It also provides that a state shall not discriminate amongst its nationals on the basis of whether they hold their nationality by birth or acquired it subsequently. Article 6 relates to the acquisition of nationality. It provides for nationality to be acquired at birth by descent from either parent to those born within the territory of the state. States may exclude partially or fully children born abroad . It also provides for nationality by virtue of birth in the territory of state however, states may limit this to only children ...?NT 166&CM 1&DF 7 5 2007&CL ENG EuropeanConvention on Nationality Category Human migration Category ... more details
