OF binationality
Dual nationality is defined by the simultaneous membership of the nationality of two states. It So the fact of having two nationalities and belonging to two different countries. Some states such as Congo (DRC), China, Japan, Finland and Haiti expressly prohibited. Others allow fully and simply. Others, finally, do not allow for the exercise of certain warrants or public functions.
say that a passport is a mere book travel not binding on the nationality of a person is not correct. The passport is an official document issued to its nationals by the administration of a country, certifying the identity of its holder to allow it to travel abroad.
By way of speculating on the issue of dual nationality, we are raising a false debate. It has complicated the issue to the point that it is now difficult for everyone to find. Same authorities that it would initiate fail to find the exit.
Legally, Article 15 of the Constitution does not lend itself to any equivocal: "Dual nationality is Haitian and foreign in no case permitted. But politically, it is reasonable to ask:''This is it fair or unfair in the light the socio-economic development? That is to say: Dual nationality is it beneficial or not for Haiti? And that's where the debate should focus.
The problem is purely political and not legal. Personally, I think we should revise several articles of the constitution, including Article 15, to allow fellow who for one reason or another, had, in a moment of their lives, acquired a foreign nationality, of retain or regain their original nationality; with restrictions for certain political or public office. This reserve is to discuss and specify.
We have too many skills abroad, we also in Haiti, but they are minimal and are not at the helm of state affairs. The Maghreb countries: Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya and Mauritania, have benefited greatly from their nationalities. Haiti could also benefit from the knowledge of his son many scholars, scattered throughout the world.
Now, what about those who have knowingly broken the law by being Haitian issue, by deception and with intent to deceive, a passport for which he was not authorized? These individuals are agents offenders as well as the poor peasant who stole a bunch of bananas and languishing in jail, pending upon the time of his trial.
Worldwide, dual nationality has nothing against the controversial legislation. Whether authorized or not, it is just another organization theory of a sovereign state against its policy. Some believe that we can not sit on two chairs at a time and to choose, especially since Article 14 of the 1987 constitution provides the opportunity to recover the Haitian nationality. Others see it differently ... and endless views.
However, it is an open secret that the United States and Canada, dual citizenship is problematic when recruiting companies in very serious because there is a lack of trust in relation to the binational status the job seeker. And this is understandable. In France, yesterday, a party leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, has publicly asked the Minister for Justice, Ms Rachida Dati, born in Saone-et-Loire, to decline his nationality, knowing that is a Moroccan father and Algerian mother. It is a how to say it has done and is still the subject of political debate in several countries. Should we allow it in Haiti? The entire nation and every Haitian will have their say indiscriminately.
