I was going to raise this point about other jurisdictions. In my experience, in the few consular issues I have dealt with in the past, I have found that other jurisdictions completely ignore our laws; they just make a claim on someone as soon as they know they are originally from that country.
We've seen this in cases of dissidents in China, for example. I think one of the cases involves Huseyin Celil, who has been held now for over a decade in a prison in China, even though he's a dual citizen. They ignored the fact that he's a citizen of our country and just proceeded to jail him unfairly and deny him consular services as well.
In the opinion of the department, why do you think this change between the original NDP-12 and this future NDP-12...? Isn't it the case, then, that only other westernized countries that naturalize lots of citizens will abide by it and say that it works for them, whereas more authoritarian countries—because typically these are more authoritarian countries—will simply ignore this case and make a claim on our citizens, our people, regardless of the laws we have in place?
