Sure like torture, but just being born a human doesn't give you citizenship in half the world. Countries get to decide who gets citizenship. Laws are how they are.
Like A as a human you have the right not to be killed, but B citizenship (which is belonging to a nation not the world) is granted by that nation.
Like their are stateless people even. They don't get auto citizenship

You would have to cite a source because I don't see any reference of UDHR and other treaties that declare citizenship in a specific country to be a human right. Just that you have a right to nationality and right to change it. But countries retain sovereign control over how they grant citizenship, within limits set by international law.
As a born human you have a right to take on your parents citizenship or the country you happened to be born in if that is their law, but you don't get to choose willy nilly it is set by blood right or birth right laws
