This is great to note, thanks for pointing it out.
I didn’t know that it was impossible to renounce some citizenships. A Dutch government site says “Greek and Iranian nationals, for example, cannot give up their nationality: it is not legally possible. In Morocco giving up your nationality is not accepted in practice.” Interesting.
Do you happen to know about enforcement for this? I’ve read in multiple instances of some countries having a rule requiring renouncing a previous citizenship ‘on the books’, but in practice it never being enforced nor adhered to. On the same government site as above it also says,
”Other nationalities no longer recorded in the personal records database
Since 6 January 2014, second or multiple nationalities are no longer recorded in the Personal Records Database. If you have another nationality besides Dutch nationality, this will no longer be noted when you register.”
I’m not sure whether to take this quote as an indicator of a lack of enforcement or not.

No, I have no idea about how/whether it’s enforced.
