Hollande seeks to reform the law on denaturalization
Published in Albawaba on 17 - 11 - 2015

Guest of TF1 channel on Saturday, November 14, Manuel Valls French PM had expressed his desire to see the possibility to revoke someone of his nationality, Le Monde reported.
Mr. Valls had indicated that such a measure will apply to those who "violate the soul of France", without further details. Hollande discussed how he would reform this exceptional measure, strictly regulated by the Civil Code.
Revoking citizenship in France is provided by articles 23-25 of the Civil Code. This measure can only concern the French foreign born and naturalized thereafter. A French citizen born French may be deprived of his nationality.
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly states that every human being has the right to a nationality, prohibiting in fact the creation of stateless persons.
Moreover, it is forbidden to revoke the citizenship "arbitrarily" of a national citizen. The grounds provided by law are five in number: (Crime or offense constituting an infringement of the fundamental interests of the nation-terrorism - Crime or offense under Chapter 2 of Title III of Book IV of the Criminal Code such as espionage, sedition, treason highest military - the evading to obligations under the Code of National Service - delivered for the benefit of a foreign state for acts incompatible with French quality and harmful to the interests of France.)
In his address to the Congress in Versailles, the president said he wants a change in the law to allow it to withdraw French nationality born to dual citizenship French, in addition to dual citizenship naturalized citizens.
"We need to revoke the French nationality off of a person convicted of a violation of the fundamental interests of the nation or terrorist acts, even if they were born in France, and I mean even if they were born in France, provided that he has another nationality," Valls add.
On the other hand, François Hollande spoke out in favor of the possibility of prohibiting a dual citizenship return on national soil unless he is submitted to strict measures.
The ban on French territory is a measure that can give a criminal court the rights against a foreigner that has been convicted of certain crimes or offenses on a French territory. Francois Hollande would therefore like to extend it to French citizens with dual nationality.
