Which DOHA/ISCR published decisions since 2020 explicitly address dual citizenship and provide full reasoning texts?
Executive summary
A review of the supplied DOHA/ISCR materials finds no published ISCR decisions dated since 2020 in the provided reporting that both (a) explicitly treat dual citizenship as a central issue and (b) present full written reasoning texts; the documents accessible in the supplied results are archival decisions from 2000–2018 and related digests that discuss dual citizenship principles but are not recent (post‑2020) full decisions in the dataset provided [1] [2] [3]. Because the provided corpus lacks DOHA decisions from 2020 onward, a definitive list of post‑2020 ISCR published decisions that meet the user’s criteria cannot be produced from these sources alone [1].
1. What the supplied records actually contain about dual citizenship
The supplied search results demonstrate that DOHA/ISCR has long treated dual citizenship under the Foreign Influence and Foreign Preference guidelines and that many archived ISCR hearing decisions discuss dual national status, foreign passports, and mitigation through renunciation or surrender of foreign documents [4] [3] [5]. Multiple archival case pages explicitly reference the “exercise of dual citizenship” as a potential disqualifying condition and discuss related mitigating conditions, and several entries discuss country‑specific instruments such as India’s OCI card and its lack of citizenship rights [4] [1] [2].
2. Examples in the provided archive — older decisions that do provide reasoning
The records supplied include several ISCR decision pages and appellate references that contain full reasoning texts for cases where dual citizenship or related conduct was central: for example, archived ISCR case pages addressing Indian OCI cards and the board’s explanation that OCI does not confer Indian citizenship (citations appear in the archive snippets) [1] [2]; decisions recounting applicants who surrendered foreign passports or expressed willingness to renounce foreign citizenship as mitigating evidence [4] [3]; and multiple archived case files describing applicants with dual citizenship of France, Saudi Arabia, Ireland, Colombia and other countries and how those statuses were weighed under Guidelines B and C [6] [7] [8] [9]. These items in the supplied dataset are evidence that full reasoning texts exist in DOHA’s archives for pre‑2020 decisions [2] [3].
3. Why the supplied evidence cannot answer the “since 2020” question
None of the provided source items are explicitly dated as DOHA/ISCR published decisions from 2020 or later in the search results the user supplied; the URLs and snippets largely point to archived, pre‑2020 ISCR hearing decisions and digests [1] [3] [2]. Because the user’s question specifically asks for published decisions since 2020 that explicitly address dual citizenship and include full reasoning texts, and because the supplied reporting does not contain such post‑2020 items, it is not possible from this corpus to produce the requested list or to certify its completeness [1].
4. How to close the gap and where full post‑2020 texts would be found
To complete the inquiry one must search DOHA’s official Industrial Security Clearance Decisions archive and the ISCR hearing decisions index for decisions published in 2020–2025 and read each decision’s text to confirm that dual citizenship is explicitly addressed and that the decision includes full written findings and analysis; the supplied materials point to the DOHA ISCR decision pages as the repository for such texts but do not themselves supply post‑2020 entries [1] [3]. It is possible that DOHA issued relevant decisions after 2020 not present in the provided results, and only direct searches of DOHA’s site or a FOIA request would reliably produce a definitive, up‑to‑date list [1].
5. Bottom line and caveats
The supplied archive establishes that DOHA/ISCR has frequently and substantively addressed dual citizenship in past published decisions with full reasoning texts, but the specific narrow question—identifying ISCR/DOHA published decisions since 2020 that explicitly address dual citizenship and provide full reasoning—is unanswered by the provided reporting because no post‑2020 full decisions were included in the dataset; further primary search of DOHA’s ISCR archive or direct inquiry to DOHA is required to produce a definitive list [2] [3].
