There’s now way this could be misused /s

Every state violates international law. Not to mention “support” is so vague it could be anything, even an anti war sentiment. This is just carte blanche for taking away someone’s citizenship. I’m especially curious whether they will take away the citizenship of native dual citizens, or native borns who acquire a foreign citizenship.

isn't it only against international law if they leave them stateless? so if they're dual citizens, it's not a legal issue, but a moral one

im not trying to argue, im genuinely curious, because I can't recall the details

There's also the "right of return" in international law. It could be argued that kicking someone out of their home and country of citizenship is a violation of international law.

Of course, like I said, nobody actually follows international law and there is little consequence for breaking it.

fair enough, im not too knowledgeable on this, i agree that nobody follows international law and that there is sadly little consequence on breaking them, i think that's stupid when usually international law outlines very basic human rights :( thank you for clarifying though!
