Current Research Interests

Written By Andrew Scott Mansfield

I am currently working on an exhaustive review of the concept of nationality in Uruguayan law, practice, and history. This research includes an analysis of Uruguayan consular manuals and passports issued throughout the history of the Republic, international communications from 1830 to the present indicating Uruguay's interpretation of its nationality laws and Constitution, and Uruguayan international conventions and the role of international law in this issue. Possible violations of statelessness laws by the Uruguayan state and the possibilities and risks of seeking redress through the right to an amparo remedy are components of this research. In addition, comparative international materials are under review that examine the development of other Spanish speaking states that departed from the Cadiz Constitution and yet have managed to overcome the linguistic and historical division of nationals and citizens.
