Subject field(s)
  • Citizenship and Immigration
  • International Public Law
DEF

... a person who is endowed with full political and civil rights in the state concerned.

OBS

... international law recognizes that one's status as a "citizen" is determined by domestic law, but for certain purposes, especially when a citizen is outside the boundaries of his country, international law may have an overriding effect. Thus, international law recognizes the right of a country to protect its citizens(who are known as "nationals" when they are abroad), but at that point, since this is a right recognized at international law, the definition of who is a "citizen" or "national" must be determined by international law as well.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Citoyenneté et immigration
  • Droit international public
OBS

[...] le droit international reconnaît l'autorité du droit national pour déterminer le statut de «citoyen». Mais dans certains cas, spécialement quand un citoyen est hors des frontières de son pays, le droit international reconnaît qu'un pays a le droit de protéger ses citoyens (qu'on appelle «ressortissants» quand ils sont à l'étranger), mais alors et pour cette raison, la définition du «citoyen» ou du «ressortissant» doit être aussi établie en droit international.

Before the passing of this statute, when a lord of the manor enfeoffed a person of some parcels of arable land the feoffee thereby became entitled to certain ancillary rights with respect to other land in the manor; after the statute was passed these rights no longer arose upon a grant of the land. Consequently all profits à prendre appendant must have come into existence prior to 1290. Profits à prendre appendant are therefore said to be "of common right".

Natural law(or law of nature). The belief in natural law and natural law theories has been one of the most ancient and persistent themes in philosophy, and in legal history and theory. In general, it denotes belief in a system of right or justice common to all men prescribed by the supreme controlling force in the universe and distinct from positive law, law laid down by any particular state or other human organization. The starting points of all natural law thinking have been "reason" and "the nature of man". But there have always been disagreements about the meaning of natural law and its relation to positive law.

Mirror symmetry, that is, invariance against "flipping sides", is perhaps the most widely noticed symmetry. Nature built many of her organisms in nearly symmetric ways, and most fundamental laws of physics, such as Newton's law of gravitation, have an exact mirror symmetry : there is no difference between left and right in the attraction of heavenly(and most earthbound) bodies. However, the nonconservation of parity in radioactive decay-that is, the violation of point symmetry in the "weak" interactions-has finally taught even the physicists to take the distinction between right and left seriously.
