'The Effect of Minor Children’s Choice for Their Previous Naturalized Nationality according to Article 7 of The Kuwaiti Nationality Law' - an article in the International Review of #Law published by Qatar University Press on #ScienceOpen:

<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d6414e83">The research aims to reform Article 7 of the Kuwaiti Nationality Law to avoid ambiguity in the legal effect (which is the loss of Kuwaiti nationality) when minor children of naturalized Kuwaitis choose their original "foreign" nationality. To achieve this goal, the research followed the analytical and critical approach. In the first section, the position of Kuwaiti legislation towards preventing dualism and multilateralism of nationality is given, with highlights of its failure to a full prevention. In the second section, Article 7 is reviewed as the most important legislative practice towards such prevention, through which we conclude that the wording of the article came short of achieving its goal. The research concludes with the recommendation to reform article 7 to end the ambiguity and establish a clear legal ruling on the legal effect of these children’s choice for their foreign nationality, as the effect of such choice does not differ whether it takes place during the period specified in Article 7 or after its expiry. The value of this research appears in light of the administration's unilateral application and interpretation of this law without judicial oversight, as all issues of nationality were considered issues of sovereignty in accordance with Kuwaiti legislation (Law No. 20 of 1981 establishing the Administrative Court), and the rulings of the Kuwaiti Court of Cassation. </p><p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d6414e86">يهدف البحث إلى التأسيس لإعادة صياغة المادة 7 من قانون الجنسية الكويتي؛ لتفادي الإبهام الذي شابها فيما يتعلق بالأثر القانوني (وهو فقدان الجنسية الكويتية) المترتب على اختيار الأولاد القصّر للكويتي المتجنس لجنسيتهم الأصلية "الأجنبية". ولتحقيق هذا الهدف، تبنّى البحث منهج التحليل والنقد، فتناول في المبحث الأول موقف المشرع الكويتي نحو رفض الازدواج والتعدد، وبيان إخفاقه في منعهما في الوقت ذاته. وتناول المبحث الثاني أحد أهم تطبيقات المشرع الكويتي لمنع الازدواج والتعدد، وهي المادة 7 من قانون الجنسية الكويتي، وبيّن أنه قد قصرت صياغة النص عن تحقيق غاية المشرع. وخلص البحث إلى أهمية التعديل التشريعي لنص المادة 7 لإنهاء الإبهام وإرساء الحكم القانوني الواضح للأثر القانوني المترتب على اختيار هؤلاء الأولاد لجنسيتهم الأجنبية. حيث إن أثر اختيارهم لجنسيتهم الأجنبية لا يختلف فيما إذا تم خلال المهلة المحددة في المادة 7، أو بعد انقضائها. وتظهر قيمة هذا البحث في ظل تفرد الإدارة بتطبيق وتفسير أحكام هذا القانون دونما رقابة من القضاء. حيث إنه ليس هناك مصدر آخر لتفسير، أو الرقابة على تطبيق الإدارة لهذا القانون بما يتوافق وحقيقة إرادة المشرع. فقد اعتُبرت جميع مسائل الجنسية من مسائل السيادة وفقا للتشريع الكويتي (القانون رقم 20 لسنة 1981 بإنشاء المحكمة الإدارية) وأحكام محكمة التمييز الكويتية. </p>

Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, his administration took down the Spanish version of the official White House website. The website now gives users an “Error 404” message and a “Go To Home Page” button that directs them to a page featuring a video montage of Trump in his first term and on the campaign trail. The Spanish profile of the White House’ X account and the government page on reproductive freedom also were disbanded. Hispanic advocates and others expressed frustration at the change. Asked about it, White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said Tuesday the administration is committed to bringing back the Spanish section of the site.
