Безгражданство / подкидыш — дискреционные полномочия по регистрации в стране

Примеры сценариев

Примеры сценариев приведены на английском языке.

• No automatic citizenship as of right. Singapore's jus soli is conditional: Art 121(2)(c) excludes a child where neither parent was a citizen — and for a foundling parentage is unknown, so there is no automatic entitlement. Relief, if any, is DISCRETIONARY: the Government MAY confer citizenship under Art 121(3) ('just and fair... having regard to all the circumstances') or register the child under Art 124(2) ('special circumstances'). There is no convention-based safety net (Singapore is non-party to the 1954/1961 statelessness conventions).

  Art 121(1)-(2) (SG-E1-002, SG-E1-006): conditional jus soli with the 'neither parent a citizen' exclusion. Art 121(3) (SG-E1-007): discretionary 'just and fair' cure. Art 124(2) (SG-E1-022, SG-E3-003): residual discretionary minor-registration in 'special circumstances.' SG-E1-008: there is NO statelessness-prevention safeguard within Art 121 as of right. SG-E1-009 / SG-E3-007 / SG-E3-008: Singapore is non-party to the 1954 and 1961 statelessness conventions, so no treaty obligation to grant nationality; UN treaty-body recommendations (CEDAW 2017) are non-binding (SG-E3-008). Statelessness is handled by administrative discretion, not statutory entitlement (SG-E3-009). 'May' = discretionary throughout.

• No statutory right to Singapore citizenship. His acquisition of citizenship is ENTIRELY at ICA's discretion. He is excluded from automatic jus soli (Art 121(2)(c)); relief would have to come through the Government's discretionary powers (Art 121(3) 'just and fair', or Art 124 registration). Pending any grant, stateless persons typically hold a Certificate of Identity as a travel document. No international-law floor obliges Singapore to grant nationality.

  SG-E3-009: as of 31 Dec 2023, ~853 stateless persons (incl. ~20 children) in Singapore; majority are PRs holding a Certificate of Identity; 'No statutory entitlement to citizenship for stateless persons — entirely discretionary.' Art 121(2)(c) excludes him from automatic birth citizenship (SG-E1-006). Art 121(3) discretionary cure (SG-E1-007); Art 124 registration discretion (SG-E1-021/022). SG-E1-009/SG-E3-007/008: non-party to 1954/1961 conventions; CEDAW/CRC committee recommendations non-binding (SG-E3-008, SG-E3-028: CRC Reservation (4) on citizenship). Domestic discretion only — A180 single-track (citizenship-statute discretion, no protection-statute convention overlay).

• If at least one parent is a Singapore citizen at the time of her birth in Singapore, she is a citizen by BIRTH under Art 121(1) — the Art 121(2)(c) 'neither parent a citizen' exclusion does not apply because one parent IS a citizen. She does not need the discretionary statelessness route at all. (The anti-statelessness condition in Art 122(2)(b) is a DESCENT rule for births OUTSIDE Singapore to a registration-parent, not applicable to a birth in Singapore.)

  Art 121(1) (SG-E1-002): every person born in Singapore after 16 Sep 1963 is a citizen by birth, subject to Art 121(2) exclusions. The 'neither parent a citizen' exclusion (Art 121(2)(c), SG-E1-006) is NOT triggered where one parent is a citizen. This scenario distinguishes the IN-Singapore birth (Art 121 jus soli) from the OUTSIDE-Singapore descent rule (Art 122), whose registration-parent anti-statelessness condition (Art 122(2)(b), SG-E1-015) is irrelevant to a domestic birth. Disconfirms the assumption that a registration-parent's child needs the statelessness route when born on Singapore soil to a citizen parent.
