In 1948, the United States did not honor Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees the right to nationality. At the time, U.S. immigration laws and practices often discriminated against certain racial and ethnic groups, undermining this principle. This historical context highlights the gap between the UDHR ideals and U.S. practices regarding nationality rights. ;
