There are many cases where laws apply only to the citizens of that country, like treason or the sanctions against Cuba. So a case where the citizenship is relevant does exist. The case of Julian Assange is not relevant because he is accused of committing crimes across the border (inciting people in the US to reveal secret information). | |

The case where they make you a citizen and then wait for you to do something illegal still stands. But, I feel that your discussion about citizenship not actually being required anyway more or less fills in that gap. In effect, if a country did declare someone a citizen so they could prosecute they are doing the equivalent of declaring them a person of interest. They are putting a target on their back. If other countries go along with it - then it has force. | |
