Goal: To raise awareness of the potential role that national identification systems may have in personal data and privacy violations.

Description: National Identification Systems are – to a large extent – necessary conditions to guarantee individual rights and are closely linked to the SDGs. However, their misuse could lead to violations of privacy. We carried out an exercise to reflect on potential future scenarios, identify risks and prepare recommendations aimed at mitigating them. We will present the scenarios and discuss the findings and recommendations.
