“The World Bank’s Identification for Development (ID4D) Initiative funds a development agenda based around expanding digital ID, when it should be establishing one around people and communities,” said Marianne Díaz Hernández, #WhyID Campaigner at Access Now. “By implementing digital ID systems that are unchecked, untested, and,
most importantly, at odds with human rights, this high level institution is
not only risking the privacy of millions,
but setting a dangerous precedent for global decision-makers.”
Through its ID4D program, the World bank helps establish new, or upgrade existing, digital ID systems implemented by national governments. Often these systems use digitized biometric data, rely on a centralized model — risking data breaches — and consist of an ad-hoc bundling of public and private services to keep the systems running. Often individual rights and privacy are disregarded along the way.
“
People and communities around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of digital ID systems that
exclude,
exploit, and
surveil,” said Dr Tom Fisher, Senior Researcher at Privacy International. “Powerful organizations, like the World Bank, have to be open to the critical examination of these systems, and be open to an approach that emphasizes human rights.”
Poorly planned and implemented systems have severely affected human rights in India, where the big ID system, Aadhaar, operates as a
tool for exclusion, disenfranchising almost two million people, and in the Dominican Republic, where
the digital ID system fueled the retroactive exclusion of people of Haitian descent from the civil registry.
