 Even in countries that allow dual citizenship, such as Australia, Jamaica and Pakistan, electoral laws demand that politicians not be under an obligation of allegiance to any foreign country, and so when politicians have been found to be violating such laws, they stepped down and renounced their other citizenships in response to the public controversy.Another example may be political refugees who would wish to renounce allegiance to the country from which they escaped.During World War II, Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps throughout the West Coast of the United States.
