Turack Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr Part of the Immigration Law Commons Repository Citation Daniel C. Turack, Selected Aspects of International and Municipal Law Concerning Passports, 12 Wm. & Mary L. Rev. 805 (1971), https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr/vol12/iss4/6 Copyright c 1971 by the authors. This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr SELECTED ASPECTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND MUNICIPAL LAW CONCERNING PASSPORTS DANIEL C. TuRAcK* Today, on our shrinking planet, the passport is playing an increasingly significant role. It is used as an instrument to frustrate travel, to prevent the individual from leaving his own country, or to preclude the bearer's ingress to some foreign territory. Despite its significance, major treatises and textbooks on international law reveal very little information con- cerning its use. The purpose of this article is to discuss some contempo- rary state and international practices concerning passports and to foster additional interest and research on the topic. WHO MAY RECEIVE A NATIONAL PASSPORT? At the present time, a nation is able to issue a passport to anyone it wishes according to its own municipal law. This prerogative has seldom been challenged. Whether a person is entitled to a passport may arise incidental to some other aspect of international concern such as a state trying to protect the bearer of its document.

  • Estonia's Non-Citizens, Citizens of the European Union?
    Estonia’s Non-Citizens, Citizens of the European Union?1 Gigi MIHĂIȚĂ2 (senior researcher) Mihai SEBE3, PhD (junior researcher) Abstract The present paper analyses the question of non-citizenship in Estonia. It presents the historical roots of this civic category as well as the various opinions across the world related to the subject. The paper tries refer to many sources from all sides in order to present a balanced and well documented situation of this peculiar case. Moreover the paper also presents the European Union attitude towards it. Keywords: Estonia; non-citizenship; human rights; Russian minority; right to vote Introduction On 11 March 2014, the US magazine The New Republic, in the aftermath of the Crimean issue, published a debatable article by Julia Ioffe, "Ethnic Russians in the Baltics Are Actually Persecuted. So Why Isn't Putin Stepping In?"4 where she states: Ethnic Russians are somewhere between one-fifth and one-quarter of the population. And yet, after Estonian independence in 1991, they were not given citizenship, even if they were born there. Russians who weren't living in Estonia before Soviet times are given a grey passport connoting their official status as "aliens." The article practically happened in a very volatile period of East European history and it drew unexpected fire. On 13 March 2015, in an article, “Mart Nutt: Is Putin preparing for aggression against NATO?,“5 published by the Estonian Embassy in Washington, Estonian politician Mart Nutt, who does not miss the opportunity to point out the Russian ancestry of Ms Ioffe, went into more detail: A so-called grey passport (for persons with undetermined citizenship) is granted to a person who has not applied for Estonian citizenship, but who also does not have any other citizenship.
