De la Jouissance des Droits civils

Citizenship
Titre II: De la Jouissance et de la Privation des Droits civils (On the Enjoyment and Deprivation of Civil Rights)
Chapitre I: De la Jouissance des Droits civils (On the Enjoyment of Civil Rights)

Tout enfant né d'un haytien ou d'une haytienne, en pays étranger, est haytien.

Notes: Jus sanguinis (right of blood) — nationality passes through either parent regardless of birthplace. Notably progressive: includes maternal descent, not just paternal.
