Facts
The applicant, of Romanian nationality, had his refugee status revoked on 5 November 1973. He subsequently renounced his Romanian nationality, which was approved by presidential decree on 8 August 1977. He must therefore be treated as a Romanian national without refugee status at least until that date. The question of whether he should be considered stateless after that date for the purposes of social insurance can remain open, as in both cases (Romanian national or stateless person), he can only claim disability insurance benefits if he was insured at the time the disability occurred.
The applicant returned to Switzerland on 26 April 1974, but was prohibited from entering Swiss territory indefinitely as of 9 May 1974. Despite this prohibition, he remained in Geneva until December 1975, at which point he was interned with his daughter, as he was unable to legally leave Switzerland. It was only from 28 November 1975, the date of his indefinite internment, that he was able to fulfill the conditions to establish his domicile in Switzerland, particularly in Geneva, where his daughter was enrolled in school.
