What is ius soli? »Its definition and meaning

Anonim

Ius Soli, from Latin means: "Right of the ground" to which this could be interpreted as the right to be in a certain place. Unlike the Ius Sanguini, the Ius Soli allows the integration of immigrants in a certain country, and they can develop a normal life like any other being foreigners. This legal expression is commonly used for the legal systems of several countries that may grant nationality to a person or individual due to the fact that they were born in that specific territory or jurisdiction, regardless of the citizenship, nationality or immigration status of the parents.

In general, it could be said that the ius soli is a principle which countries that are usually and historically recipients of migrants adopt and promote, in order to integrate or incorporate foreigners, and in certain cases increase the population of that country. These nations that approve this principle and adopt that right are characterized by being democratic, free-thinking states, and almost always with little or no racial prejudice.

On the other hand, the nations that support the ius sanguinis as an exclusive principle or criterion for those individuals to be nationalized are characterized by the complete rejection of the foreigner and try by all means to maintain the supposed purity of the race, preventing in any way possible that people outside of said nation or territory become part of a certain community.

In article 15 of the universal declaration of human rights it sets out the universal right to a nationality; for example, in Europe the ius soli is applied, in addition to the United Kingdom and France, for its part Spain only applies it in exceptions; the other European countries support more than all the ius sanguinis. In Latin American countries that favor the integration of immigrants to their territories, they apply the ius soli, as well as the United States and Canada
