It was time to tell the international legal community about the ancient folktale of King Matthias and the Clever Girl... and make some observations about authoritarian/populist lawmaking and the planned introduction of the "suspension" of citizenship in Hungary. 🤔 www.ejiltalk.org/suspension-o...

Because of this duality, overcoming Schrödinger's Citizenship cannot happen at the level of norms. We must identify the gaps in the law created by the duality, whether they are created by retroactivity, the interpretive methods used by foreign courts, or just administrative foot-dragging.

Even deeper, there is a fundamental contradiction about what citizenship really *is*. Is it just another, changeable and (re)interpretable legal status that is created by the state? Or is it part of a person's self and identity, essentially a fact of nature? Ultimately, it is both.

I argue that Schrödinger's Citizenship is basically unavoidable in a world where public international law, private international law and domestic laws all set rather contradictory norms about what citizenship is and who has the right to grant it and adjudicate it.

As great scholars such as @bronwenmanby.bsky.social, Neha Jain and @jcyliew.bsky.social have argued, "Schrödinger's Citizenship" (also called zombie citizenship, ghost citizenship, citizenship overreach, sticky citizenship, etc.) is a major driver in the creation of statelessness globally.

What is "Schrödinger's Citizenship"? It's the phenomenon where State A argues that a person is in fact the citizen of State B , while State B simultaneously argues that the same person is in fact a citizen of State A. In the end, both states deny protections to the person in question.
