For that baby to close his two eyes, means he knew he's not in Nigeria.

Baby Miracle was born in international waters at 3.45pm, with his mother rescued just days before on Thursday May 24 by an Italian navy vessel and later transferred to the Aquarius.

Two international treaties relate to the case of Baby Miracle: the Convention on the reduction of statelessness and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

For baby Miracle whose parents are Nigerians, he automatically inherits the nationality of his parents, according to the code of Nigerian nationality.

If the child was born in Italian territorial waters, the child acquires Italian citizenship because Rome recognizes the right of the soil (jus soli).

Based on the bold message the child was born in international waters on an Italian navy vessel, the flag of the vessel (which is obviously Italian) is taken into account. This is based on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.

So Baby Miracle will be Nigerian-Italian.



Another Scenario if the Flag of the vessel is of another country (not of Italy) this just so you can get a better understanding :

As baby Miracle was born in international waters, and the flag of the vessel is say flying the flag of Gibraltar, a British territory overseas territories. Citizens of Gibraltar can register for British citizenship. Also, citizens of Gibraltar are recognized as “UK nationals” by the European Union. Bearing in mind that the United Kingdom is one of the five signatories to the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. So from an international perspective, a vessel comes under the nationality of the flag it flies; if a child is born in international waters and the country of the vessel’s flag recognizes the principle of ‘jus soli’ (the right of anyone born in the territory of a state to nationality or citizenship).

Baby Miracle will be Nigerian-British.
