Abstract
Developed a foundation by defining Canadian citizenship concepts, such as jus sangius, jus soli, and birthright lottery. Used online databases to research the Right of Return, an international human right that allows individuals to leave and return to their country of citizenship. Applied this and research on Canadian citizenship to a case study on ‘ISIS Brides’. ‘ISIS Brides’ are Canadian women who have been denied the right to return to Canada due to their involvement with ISIS, usually through marriage, and many are now requesting repatriation. After extensive research, discussions, and analysis, the project asserts that ‘ISIS brides’ must be subject to repatriation and rehabilitation on Canadian soil under the Right of Return.
