<p>The UK is a signatory to the 1961 UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness
and the 1930 Special Protocol concerning Statelessness. The 1961 Convention clearly
sets out the circumstances in which it is permissible to remove citizenship and leave
a person stateless and when it is not. <br>Recent amendments to the power contained
in the UK’s domestic legislation regarding removal of British citizenship were made
in accordance with these obligations. Also, following the statement by the Prime Minister
to the House on 1 September, the Government is working on proposals for action against
British nationals fighting abroad, and is ensuring that these too will be compliant
with the UK’s international obligations.</p><p> </p>
