Nationality of Claims

Nationality of claims refers to the principle that determines which country has the right to make legal claims or engage in legal actions on behalf of its citizens or entities. In international law, it means that when a citizen or company suffers harm in another country, their home country can advocate for them or seek reparations. This concept is fundamental in ensuring protection of rights across borders and helps resolve disputes involving nationals abroad, ensuring that countries can support their citizens in legal matters internationally.
