I suppose you are concerned about citizenship of the child more than anything else.
The first thing to look at is how citizenship is acquired through parent(s).
After that or on top of that, then look at whether or not the birth was within the territory claimed by a country that grants citizenship on jus soli basis.
Make sure to consider limitations -- if any -- on holding of dual/multiple citizenship applicable to any of the countries.
Citizenship affiliation for these births too are governed by specific national laws.
