Which of the following case is related to the nationality of an individual which is an evidence of link of an individual with the state ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In the Nottebohm case (Liechtenstein v.

The Namibia advisory opinion (1971) concerned South Africa's presence in South West Africa, the Genocide Convention opinion (1951) concerned reservations to treaties, and the Tehran case (1980) concerned diplomatic immunity.
