- Coll 30/99 'Koweit & Bahrain Nationality. Date of institution of.'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file concerns a request from the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs for information concerning the date of the independence of Koweit [Kuwait] and Bahrain from Ottoman control, and therefore the date at which the nationality of the two states commenced.
Various views are advanced in the correspondence by British officials, including those of Gilbert Laithwaite of the India Office, the Foreign Office, and the British Embassy, Bagdad [Baghdad]; and the issue is said to be a complex one, particularly in the case of Kuwait.
The file includes official diplomatic statements, dated 1938, of the British Government's position with regard to the date of inception of Bahraini nationality (folio 30), and Kuwaiti nationality (folio 6).
The papers also cover the issue of conscription for Iraqi military service of persons claiming Bahraini and Kuwaiti nationality, including (folios 7-11 and 4) a member of the Kuwait ruling family.
The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
