Ten million people around the world are stateless. Is citizenship a human right?
Some 10 million people worldwide are ‘stateless’ – unrecognised as residents of any nation.

He has since been in limbo, an invisible person without nationality, and his statelessness has made everything from renting a flat to visiting his daughter impossible.
