Примеры сценариев

Примеры сценариев приведены на английском языке.

• Aiden is exposed to derivative deprivation under Art 130. Where his father is deprived under Art 134(1)(a), the Government MAY by order deprive a registered child under 21 who was registered as that person's child. It is discretionary, not automatic. The Art 137(2) / Art 129(7) statelessness bar protects Aiden — he cannot be deprived if it would render him stateless (here he is not, holding the foreign nationality).

  Art 130 (SG-E2-027, SG-E1-025): where a person has renounced or been deprived under Art 129(2)(a) or 134(1)(a), the Government may by order deprive of citizenship any child of that person under 21 registered as that person's child. Statelessness bar: Art 129(7) lists Art 130 among the protected grounds — no deprivation if it would render the child stateless (and Art 137(2) similarly for child deprivations under Art 137). Aiden retains his father's foreign nationality, so no statelessness arises. Discretionary ('may'); Art 133 procedural safeguards apply (SG-DEP-05).

• Sofia CANNOT be deprived. Although Art 137(1) permits the Government to deprive a registered/enrolled child under 21 of a parent who lost citizenship, Art 137(2) bars deprivation where it would render the child stateless. Because Sofia holds no other nationality, the statelessness safeguard blocks the deprivation. She retains Singapore citizenship.

  Art 137(1) (SG-E2-025/SG-E2-027): where a parent has been deprived or had enrolment cancelled under Part 10, the Government may deprive/cancel the citizenship of a child under 21 registered/enrolled as that parent's child. Art 137(2): 'no person shall be deprived... under clause (1) if the Government is satisfied that as a result of such deprivation he would not be a citizen of any country.' Sofia would be rendered stateless, so the bar applies. The Government must also be satisfied deprivation is 'not conducive to the public good' (Art 137(2) first limb). Procedure Art 133 safeguards (SG-DEP-05).
