Abstract

On Friday 26 February, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected Shamima Begum’s application to be permitted to return to the UK to argue her case for her UK citizenship. Whichever way you look at it, the Court’s decision – made on the basis of ‘national security’ concerns – is shameful. It is hard to see it as anything other than a rather spineless failure to stand up for the interests of justice against the current government’s cynical use of the law to re-frame citizenship rights in order to further an increasingly nebulous national security state.
