Summary
In this chapter I delve into the rules of international law in their evolution and dynamic understanding, focusing on the principle of volitional naturalization. To do so, I take the mass acquisition of the Comorian nationality by the Middle Eastern Bedoon as an example of a factual constellation, which could potentially be unlawful under international law, ending with a call for ‘disciplining’ investment citizenship.
