Citizenship laws of Germany and Czech republic?
I am looking for the most recent text of the German and Czech Citizenship
laws. Is there an online version anywhere? I am also interested in
reading any reports on the human rights situation of non-citizens in these
two countries. Any recommendations?
Many thanks,

Moderator adds: I didn't find the German and Czech citizenship laws on the
IOM website (its legal database seems one of the best now in the field of
refugee/migration/minorities-related matters). In some other directories
(like
US House of Representatives Internet Law Library or Internet Legal Resource
Guide) I found the following references:
Act No. 40/1993 on gaining and losing citizenship of the Czech Republic
dated December 29th, 1992, at http://www.psp.cz/docs/laws/1993/40.html (size
30K)
L A W of the Czech National Council of December 29. 1992 on gaining and
losing citizenship of the Czech Republic, at
http://www.psp.cz/cgi-bin/gascii/fenrir.psp.cz:70/00/parleng/law40, size
29K
http://www.psp.cz/cgi-bin/gmac/fenrir.psp.cz:70/00/parleng/law40, size 29K
(apparently, the same text in different encodings).
However, I failed to access this site - Britt, maybe you'll be more lucky?
As to the non-citizens' problem, I recall some papers by Ina Zoon (Notes on
the Czech Citizenship law's background, 2 February 1995, and A need for
Change. The Czech Citizenship law. Analysis of 99 individual cases, November
21, 1994). Ina Zoon is not among the MINELRES subscribers so far, but maybe
colleagues from the ERRC could help to get in touch with her?
As far as Germany is concerned, I can say nothing - sorry, Britt... Could
somebody help?
