In a show of bipartisan support, Nauru's parliament has unanimously voted for the first amendment to the country's constitution since the document was created in 1968.
The amendment now means that a person born on Nauru without the nationality of any country can make an application to Cabinet for citizenship, and "It shall be the prerogative of Cabinet as to whether citizenship is granted or not".
President Baron Waqa explained that the cabinet of Nauru has always been the guardian of Nauruan citizenship applications, however pointed out that the change does not exclude citizenship for anyone.
"It now means there is a process to follow, just like any other application for citizenship."  
Mr Waqa said all Nauruans wanted future generations to be strong and he was "proud that the parliament spoke as one voice to guard future custom and culture".
