There are multiple aspects to the concept of citizenship. With the world becoming a global community the ideas on citizenship are evolving. The use of terms such as citizen may unknowingly adversely impact a person applying for citizenship. The hard regulations may do or the inadvertent protections they offer need in-depth knowledge. As our teams practice across borders we are able to understand the impact of citizenship laws on groups and diasporas. 

The critical need to obtain legal advice before setting up the strategy to lobby or advocate for citizenship rights for groups or grant rights to groups needs understanding of both domestic laws in multiple jurisdictions as well as international law. Supranational laws further complicate the ideas of nationality, citizenship and domicile. RFKNS experience in these matters allows us to advice in a comprehensive manner, keeping in mind the rights of the individual, the obligations of a state and the complicated demands of internal and international law and policy.
