The international community’s historic reluctance to properly limit Article 1(3)’s scope in a robust and principled manner may mean that Article 1(3), or its animating assumptions, continues to exert an influence on the evolution of nationality laws and practices.	cache/cjrl-8018.pdf	txt/cjrl-8018.txt
