Draft article 7 deals with the exercise of diplomatic protection by one State of nationality
against another State of nationality. Whereas draft article 6, dealing with a claim in respect of a
dual or multiple national against a State of which the injured person is not a national, does not
require an effective link between claimant State and national, draft article 7 requires the claimant
State to show that its nationality is predominant, both at the time of the injury and at the date of
the official presentation of the claim.
