In his post, 'Nicaragua: Expatriation as an Aggravated Form of Political Persecution', Kai Ambos examines Nicaragua's decision to strip more than 300 dissident citizens of their nationality in the last two weeks. Ambos notes the removal of the nationality, first of all, violates the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and the right to nationality pursuant to Article 20 of the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR).
