Statement 2 is incorrect. Article 15 of the UDHR states both that “No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality” AND that everyone has the “right to change his nationality.” The statement’s phrasing “except for the freedom to change nationality” wrongly links the two rights, suggesting one is an exception to the other, which is not what Article 15 says.
