It is also called " Laissez-Passer " French word: Laissez-Passer/Emergency passports A laissez-passer (from the French let pass ) is a travel document issued by a national government or certain international organizations, such as the United Nations , European Union and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). A laissez-passer is often for one-way travel to the issuing country for humanitarian reasons only. Some national governments issue laissez-passers to their own nationals as emergency passports . Others issue them to people who are stateless , or who are unable to obtain a passport from their own government, or whose government is not recognized by the issuing country. Historically, laissez-passers were commonly issued during wartime and at other periods, literally acting as a pass to allow travel to specific areas, or out of war zones or countries for various officials, diplomatic agents, other representatives or citizens of third countries. In these contexts, a laissez-passer would frequently include quite specific and limited freedom of movement . The form and issuing authority would be more or less standardized, depending on the circumstances. An example is when in the early 1950s, the Iraqi government granted permission to its 120 thousand Jewish citizens to leave ( Operation Ezra and Nehemiah ), conditional on their renouncement of their citizenship and leaving behind all their properties and assets. The travel document that was issued was the laissez-passer, since an Iraqi passport was no longer possible. [ 3 ]
