For the purposes of this Chapter - a. a person born on a registered ship or aircraft shall be deemed to have been born at the place where the ship or aircraft was registered; and b. a person born on an unregistered ship or aircraft belonging to the government of a country shall be deemed to have been born in that country. 2. Any reference in this Chapter to the national status of the father or mother of a person at the time of the birth of that person shall, in relation to a person born after the death of the father or mother, be construed as a reference to the national status of the father or mother at the time of the father's or mother's death; and accordingly, where that death occurred before the coming into force of this Constitution, the national status that the father or mother would have had if he or she had died on the coming into force of this Constitution shall be deemed to be his or her national status at the time of his or her death.
