Jus Soli - Right Of Soil - Birthright Citizenship by blackspade(m): 5:45pm On Apr 26, 2009 |
What is jus soli? Jus soli is Latin for "right of the soil" or, "right of the territory", or more simply, birthright citizenship. It is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born in the territory of the related state. States that observe jus soli include: Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Azerbaijan Barbados Belize Bolivia Brazil Canada Chile (children of transient foreigners or of foreign diplomats on assignment in Chile only upon request) Colombia Dominica Dominican Republic (Very somewhat, you should read how they treat Haitians) Ecuador El Salvador Fiji Grenada Guatemala Guyana Honduras Jamaica Lesotho Mexico Nicaragua Pakistan Panama Paraguay Peru Romania Saint Christopher and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Trinidad and Tobago United States Uruguay Venezuela http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_soli |

So, even most 3rd world countries don't grant the right automatically |
