In Sweden, Parliament paves the way for the revocation of nationality for dual nationals

The Swedish Parliament approved a constitutional amendment allowing the revocation of citizenship for dual nationals under certain conditions. This decision, made with a vote of 292 to 51, enables laws to be enacted that could strip dual nationals of their Swedish citizenship if obtained through deceit or if they are convicted of serious crimes against Sweden's vital interests. The outgoing center-right government, led by Ulf Kristersson and supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats, had previously indicated a desire to remove citizenship from dual nationals involved in organized crime. Human rights organizations have criticized the amendment, arguing it creates unequal citizenship statuses. The next government will determine the specifics of implementing this law.
