Sudanese father is made on the basis of the parent's national origin which is listed as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination under Article 3 of the Children's Charter. Article 3 of the African Children's Charter prohibits discrimination on the expressly provided grounds, including on the basis of the status of the child's parents. 53.Hence, the Committee concludes that the Republic of the Sudan has violated its obligation under article 3 of the African Children's Charter, by introducing a legislation which arbitrarily deprives children of South Sudanese origin their Sudanese nationality on the basis of the national origin of their parents. The Respondent State, due to its discriminatory law, has violated Ms !man's right not to be discriminated on the ground of the country of origin of her father and as a result has arbitrarily deprived her Sudanese Nationality which otherwise she would have been entitled to. II. Alleged violation of Article 6(3) & (4) as it relates to the right to acquire a nationality & prevention of statelessness 54.As stated above, the Committee recognises that the right to nationality of the child plays a central importance for the recognition and respect for other rights of the child. In duly recognising the importance of the right to nationality of the child, the African Children's Charter, under article 6, expressly protects the right to acquire nationality of the child. Specifically, article 6(3) of the Charter provides that 'Every child has the right to acquire a nationality.' Therefore, it is unquestionable that State Parties to the Charter are obliged to respect the right to acquire nationality of children who are born and live in their jurisdiction. The Committee also recognises article 7 of the UNCRC and article 24 (3) of the ICCPR which unequivocally ensure every child's right to acquire a nationality. 55.The Committee believes that questions such as, 'when does the right to acquire a nationality of the child has to be implemented'; 'which nationality a child may have a right to?', 'which State has the obligation to grant it?' should be elaborated to address the matter at hand. Hence the Committee would like to elaborate on the issues by making reference to and drawing inspiration from other norms, jurisprudence and soft laws. 56.Looking at the rights guaranteed under the Children's Charter, it is obvious that the Charter contains a group of rights that are enjoyed by the child from the time of his/her birth and other group of rights that are not necessarily exercised or enjoyed by the child from the time of his/her birth as a matter of practicality. 1 5
