Discrimination based on nationality

Discrimination based on nationality is discriminating against a person based on their nationality, country of citizenship, or national origin. Although many countries' non-discrimination laws contain exceptions for nationality and immigration status,[1] nationality is related to race and religion, so direct discrimination on the basis of nationality may be indirect discrimination on racial or religious grounds.[2] The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), currently signed by 88 countries,[3] allows discrimination by nationality, citizenship or naturalization but prohibits discrimination "against any particular nationality".[4]
