9. (...) The Committee is further concerned that the citizenship of persons who have acquired it by naturalization can be revoked under some circumstances. (art. 2, para. 2)

The Committee recommends that the State party intensify its effort to facilitate the acquisition of Estonian citizenship by persons with the status of ‘non-citizens’ and to address obstacles encountered by applicants, including by softening the official language qualifications required for those who have long residence in the country and by granting Estonian citizenship to children born in the families of those persons. The Committee also urges the State party to amend its legislation on citizenship so as to ensure that all citizens are treated equally irrespective of the mode of acquisition of the citizenship, in conformity with the obligation of non-discrimination under article 2 of the Covenant.
