No lockdown for fundamental rights during the COVID-19 crisis!

The response to the COVID-19 crisis has had a negative impact on a number of fundamental rights. The unavoidable lockdowns have restricted our freedom of movement and cross-border travel.

Nationality is a bond between a citizen and a state, whether by birthright or by naturalisation.
