Abstract: The multiplicity of countries and the lack of comprehensive coordination between their legislation regarding the methods of acquiring and losing nationality lead to the emergence of the phenomenon of multiple nationalities, or the absence of nationality for an individual. Perhaps the aforementioned lack of coordination stems from each country enacting its nationality law, in accordance with its interests and in a manner that safeguards its sovereignty. The difference in the provisions of nationality from one country to another leads to a conflict between the legal systems represented by the nationalities held by the person. This is called “positive conflict,” meaning duality or multiple nationalities for the person in dispute. The opposite may be the case in the case of statelessness or lack of citizenship, and this is called “negative conflict.”
