Vatican Citizenship and the Principles of ius sanguinis and ius soli Book Reviews
Abstract
In 2009 we passed the eightieth anniversary of Peter Cardinal Gasparri signing an
agreement with the Italian Government, represented by Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. The documents signed by the parties led to the establishment of the smallest state
in the world – the Vatican City. The Lateran Treaty led to the exclusion of 44 hectares
from Italian territory and their transfer to the jurisdiction of the Pope. This led to a situ-
ation when it was necessary to determine the status of the persons on the territory of the
newly established state. Thus, a formula emerged of a residence permit and citizenship
of the Vatican. Of course, it was necessary to define the categories of people using both
formulas. The intention of the author of this article was to indicate that the acquisition
of citizenship of the Vatican cannot be classified in any of the traditional categories of
ius sanguinisandius soli. It is a specific form of citizenship, which could be called
functional citizenship. The persons eligible for citizenship of the Vatican fall intosev-
eral categories, with particular emphasis on those serving in the Papal Swiss Guard.
The subject of the article are the rights and obligations of citizens of the Vatican and
Vatican documents (identity card or passport).
