The Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, New York University has launched a scary warning on the potential hazards for human rights represents the pressure exerted on the digital identity.
In mid-June, the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, a centre for the study of human rights of the faculty of law, New York university (NYU), has published a report of 100 pages detailing the dangers of dependence on digital identity in the world. The report, entitled," Paving a Digital Road to Hell ?, examines the role of the world Bank and other international networks, which have encouraged the use of digital identity in recent years.
The report notes that the world Bank has " encouraged strongly to the biometric identification systems and digital are increasingly linked to violations of human rights on a large scale, in particular in the countries of the South ". The researchers caution against digital identity systems " promoted in the name of the development and inclusion, but who do not reach neither the one nor the other ". Despite the good intentions apparent, some promoters of these systems, they " could well pave a road digital-to-hell ".
The press release concerning the report indicates :
"Governments around the world have invested heavily in systems identification number, often with components biometrics (digital id). The rapid proliferation of these systems is motivated by a new consensus on development, conditioning and promoted by key global players such as the world Bank, but also by governments, foundations, suppliers and consulting companies. "
The report indicates that many systems of digital identity are inspired by the system Aadhaar in India. This specific model of digital identity has given priority to the digital identity as "economic identity ". The goal of these systems is primarily to establish the "uniqueness" of individuals, usually with the help of biometric technologies ", the statement said. This allows then to pass those depleted of the "informal economy" or the "counter-economy" in the formal economy. This also has the effect of "unlock" their behavioral data, which can then be used by governments and other parties.
The report also notes that the executive chairman of the influential ID4Africa, a platform where to meet african governments and major companies in the market of digital identity, noted at the annual meeting of June 2022 that digital identity is not only the identity, but, " allows and interacts with the platforms for authentication, payment systems, digital signatures, data sharing, systems KYC, the management of consent and the platforms of delivery sector. "
In fact, according to the report, the evidence indicates that it is a small group of companies and governments who will benefit the most from these systems.
"After all, where the identification systems digital tended to excel, it is in the generation of profit for the companies biometric and capacity building for surveillance and control of the migration of the governments. "

That is the origin of the push to digital identity?
The authors of the report also called for a "concept more clearly developed the" who "are the most relevant actors to carry out this agenda and "what" are the key concepts that should be challenged and réimaginés. "They say that one can learn a lot by focusing on the actions of the world Bank Group, and" more particularly on his initiative, ID4D, as the central node of a global network of more extensive promotion of the digital identity. "
In 2014, the world Bank has launched the Identification for Development (ID4D) in order to solve the problem of lack of identity for a large part of the so-called " developing world. "The world Bank is financing programs, biometric identification, digital Mexico, pushing the digital identity in the poorest countries with the objective evidence to provide a legal identity for the 1.1 billion people who do not have them.

This program has been launched with an "investment catalytic" of the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, the Omidyar Network, as well as various governments. The report notes :
"We have noted that the world Bank and its initiative ID4D are not only to continue the program identification number. They are part of a global network of organisations and individuals. This network is comprised of governments, donors such as the United Kingdom, the United States and France ; the foundations of the world as the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation (BMGF) and the Omidyar Network ; governments, tech-savvy as those of India, and Estonia ; the United Nations system, including the members of the working group on the agenda of the legal identity of the United Nations ; the regional development banks, including the asian development Bank and the inter-american development Bank ; private companies biometrics such as Idemia, Thales-Gemalto ; the societies of the payment card, such as MasterCard, the new networks such as the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) and ID4Africa ; and many other global organizations.
It is interesting to note that the report of the New York university indicates that the proponents of the digital identity of the future have " wrapped up this new paradigm in the language of human rights and inclusion, arguing that these systems will contribute to the achievement of several sustainable development goals. "
The sustainable development goals are a set of 17 interrelated goals adopted by the united Nations in 2015 with the aim gimmicky to end poverty, protect the planet and to spread peace and prosperity to all people by 2030.
The sustainable development goals are part of a more comprehensive resolution, known as Agenda 2030, whose stated aim is to fight against climate change. If the sustainable development goals and the Agenda 2030 of the united Nations are often presented as a tool to build relationships multilateral sound between the nations, in reality, they are based on a more profound designed to monitor, control and direct all life on the planet.
The UN and the World Economic Forum, has regularly promoted the idea of a digital identity as a necessity for the life of the future.
The report's authors insist on the fact that there is a chronic lack of evidence of benefit systems, digital identification, these advantages being assumed rather than proven.
It is clear that this effort to force the world to accept the programs of digital identity is part of a greater push towards biometrics, a company of tracing and, finally, tools such as the digital currencies of central banks.
What appears clear at this stage is that it will require a combination of people, academics, and think tanks to impose a necessary debate on these technologies. Qualified primer, the report is a valuable resource to gather a huge amount of research on these issues, this text is the visible part of the iceberg.
