Rätten till medborgarskap kodifierad i artikel 15 i FN:s declaration om de mänskliga rättigheterna tolkas som rätten att ha rättigheter. Genom medborgarskap säkras tillgång till grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter. Personer som inte betraktas som medborgare i någon stat enligt dess lagar är de jure statslösa. Åtnjutandet av mänskliga rättigheter för de jure statslösa är följaktligen begränsad. FThe right to nationality codified in article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is understood as the right to have rights.
