CONNECTING ELEMENTS: THE LEGITIMACY OF CHANGING NATIONALITY IN AN INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA

Abstract

The present study aims to demonstrate whether any change in nationality has legitimacy for international law or if it constitutes an exposed fraud to the guiding law. To achieve the proposed objective, it is intended to highlight, initially, the relationship between international law and the connecting elements, to analyze the legal institute of nationality, the reasons for changing nationality in the enforcement of fundamental rights and, finally, to demonstrate the legitimacy and possible fraud of nationality in an international panorama. To achieve the proposed objective, a bibliographic research was carried out, carried out through the review of theoretical materials related to the theme, as well as the analysis of journals and articles available on the internet, addressing the topic qualitatively, during the month of September 2024. The proposed objective was achieved by understanding the theme in the brief highlight between the relationship between the connecting elements and Private International Law.  Then, an analysis of the legal institute of nationality was presented. Soon after, the reasons for changing nationality in the realization of fundamental rights were exposed and, finally, the legitimacy and possible fraud of nationality in the international panorama were demonstrated.
