When a person concerned who is qualified to acquire the nationality of a successor State has the nationality of another State concerned, the former State may make the attribution of its nationality dependent on the renunciation by such person of the nationality of the latter State. However, such requirement shall not be applied in a manner which would result in rendering the person concerned stateless, even if only temporarily.
如果一个有关的人有资格取得继承国国籍，但又具有另一有关国家的国籍，则继承国可以要求该人放弃该另一国的国籍，才赋予国籍。但适用这一要求的方式不应导致有关的人成为无国籍，即使只是暂时的无国籍。
