Question

What is nationality principle?

Answer 1

The nationality principle determines where a case will be tried and that means in the country of the party involved in a case.

Answer 2

It all depends on the context.  For example, for an legal entity, the nationality principle is used to determine the nationality of, for example, a corporation - it is that of the state under whose law it is organized.  In terms of a person, there are two main principles of acquiring a particular nationality - Jus sanguinis (by blood), and Jus soli (by place of birth).
