Jus Sanguinis
Jus sanguinis, or “right of blood,” is a fundamental principle in nationality law that governs the acquisition of citizenship based on one’s familial ties rather than the place of birth. This principle recognizes that individuals inherit their citizenship from their parents or ancestors, regardless of where they are born. In essence, jus sanguinis ensures that the nationality of an individual is determined by the nationality of their parents, emphasizing the importance of familial lineage and ancestry in citizenship acquisition.
