Regarding remedying the legal status of the Complainant, the Committee
recommends to the Respondent State, in accordance with its obligation under
the Children's Charter, to take all necessary measures:
A. To urgently grant nationality to Ms lman as she has a Sudanese Mother and as
she would otherwise be stateless. In this regard, the Committee also
recommends that the Respondent State confers its nationality to children in its
territory who are either stateless without taking prolonged procedure to prove
their link with other State;
B. To revise its Nationality Act with a view to:
i.
Ensure that children born to Sudanese mothers automatically obtain
Sudanese nationality same as children born to Sudanese fathers;
ii.
Ensure that children born to South Sudanese parents are not
discriminated against in obtaining Sudanese nationality where the child
demonstrates clear link with the Respondent State;
iii.
Ensure that its nationality law does not leave children born in the
territory of the Respondent State stateless and are provided with
Sudanese Nationality without mere assumption that they have
acquired South Sudanese Nationality;
iv.
Ensure that Sudanese nationality is not revoked from a child unless
there is sufficient and admissible evidence that the child has acquired
other nationality. In doing so, the proof of other nationality should be
based on the laws on the acceptable proof of nationality of the State
which is assumed to have conferred its nationality to that child; and
v.
Ensure that revocation of Sudanese nationality of child's parent does
not result in revocation of Sudanese nationality of the child. In
particular, ensure that children born to South Sudanese parents or
children born to South Sudanese father and Sudanese mother get
equal protection of the law in this regard.
C. To adopt a law or regulation in line with acceptable international standards
that regulate the manner in which Sudanese Nationality is revoked; and
limit the discretion given to officials by providing factors needed to be
considered in detail before effecting revocation of Sudanese nationality;
D. To ensure that there are procedural safeguards in determining,
conferring, and revoking Sudanese Nationality. Such procedural
safeguard should follow due process of law and the right of the child to fair
