Social | JAPAN PINAGBABAWAL ANG “DUAL CITIZENSHIP”

  JAPAN PINAGBABAWAL ANG “DUAL CITIZENSHIP” | Social  January 21, 2021 Nagdesisyon ang korte ng Japan kanina umaga(January 21) na ipagbabawal ang pagkakaruon ng dual citizenship sa bansa. Base sa kasulukuyang panuntunan ng Japan, pinapapili ang mga Hapon na may dalawang citizenship sa ibang bansa kung ano ang nationality ang gagamitin habang nasa Japan. Katulad nalang ni Tennis Champion Osaka Naomi na may dalawang nationality. Isa iyang Japanese at Haiti. Sabi ng mga mayroong dual citizenship, ito panuntunan na ito ay isang malaking paglabag sa constitution’s right to pursue happiness and protection of equality under the law.  Sa 50 bansa, Japan lamang ang nagpapabawal nito .  Source: GMA News https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/news/world/772717/japan-court-upholds-ban-on-dual-citizenship/story/?utm_source=GMANews&utm_medium=GMANews&utm_campaign=Twitter
