Revocation of British citizenship on national security grounds. Involvement in the activity of terrorist groups. Risk of statelessness.

British Nationality Act 1981 (UK)
Ruling
The revocation of British citizenship of a naturalized person who lost his/her first citizenship (in the case at issue, the Iraqi nationality) violates the prohibition of statelessness. In fact, the probability that this person will reacquire his/her previous citizenship in a quick and simple way is not enough to prevent the risk of statelessness.
