United Nations Formally Launches Digital ID Governance Framework Tied To Banking, Fulfils Agenda 2030 Goals

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) quietly launched their digital identity framework on September 15th, just several days before the highly anticipated SDG Summit meeting, which they say will provide inclusion for all and better streamline protection.

According to their blog post, the plans are “an integral part of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” adding, “SDG Target 16.9, which aims to “provide legal identity for all, including birth registration,” underscores the widespread significance of civil registration in societies globally.”

The UNDP’s guidance builds upon 9 core factors: legal and regulatory frameworks, non-discrimination, access to information, legal accountability, capable institutions, user value, procurement and anti-corruption, and data protections.

Their framework from their website is as follows:

---

A robust digital public infrastructure (DPI) has become increasingly crucial for governments, especially when it comes to delivering large-scale, effective public services. For the public sector, the debate isn’t about whether to adopt digital technologies but which ones to embrace and how to ensure their seamless and effective integration. This is particularly true when it comes to digital legal ID, a foundational digital public infrastructure that has the potential to catalyze digital transformation and development opportunities across countries. 

Technology and governance must progress in tandem

DPI is made up of digital building blocks, laying the foundation for subsequent innovations. For example, these building blocks may include digital legal ID or digital payment systems that unlock new solutions such as mobile financial services. But like roads and bridges, overhauling an established infrastructure can be daunting. Therefore, it’s imperative to be intentional and meticulous from the outset.  

The digital standards, regulations and privacy protocols instituted initially will have implications, for instance for government-related e-services and even business ventures. While the technological facets of digital legal ID are often in the spotlight, effective implementation demands robust governance. This ensures inclusion, safety and the preservation of rights.

Ensuring rights-based and inclusive governance of digital legal ID systems is crucial for their alignment with the public good. In essence, the regulations and standards set the ‘rules of the road.’ They guide decision-makers on the most suitable technologies for public service delivery, instil confidence in the private sector to invest and innovate and foster trust among the end users in the systems and technologies. 

Modelling a governance framework  

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) frequently receives requests for legal, regulatory and institutional support, particularly within the scope of the organization’s legal ID programming. A recent surge in requests mirrors a growing awareness among Member States of the importance of adopting participatory, rights-based approaches to legislative and policy aspects of digital legal ID design and implementation.  

Acknowledging the burgeoning potential and significance of digital legal ID, UNDP has taken the initiative to draft a model governance framework. This blueprint is designed to aid the swift establishment of digital legal ID systems globally.

At its core, this framework is intended to outline a normative model of the laws, policies and institutional arrangements that can help ensure the governance of digital legal ID systems is both inclusive and respectful of individual rights. It is informed by UNDP’s governance and digital strategies, which emphasize a rights-based and whole-of-society approach. The framework, for instance, recognizes the importance of civil society’s role in accountability, recourse and oversight. It also builds on long-standing experience and lessons from within the UN System on legal identity and the whole legal identity management ecosystem, which is based on civil registration.  

Framework elements 

The importance of legal identity is an integral part of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  SDG Target 16.9, which aims to “provide legal identity for all, including birth registration,” underscores the widespread significance of civil registration in societies globally.

However, without effective governance, digital legal ID systems risk perpetuating, and potentially exacerbating, the challenges seen in previous identity systems. The governance framework can serve as a reference point, from which government partners can develop their own iterations, adapting it to meet their needs based on their own contexts and circumstances.  

Getting it right

For countries already implementing DPI, digital ID has been a powerful force for improving public service delivery and driving economic opportunities. Given its overarching role, proper governance of digital legal ID is paramount. Such governance ensures that stakeholders, who depend on and use these systems, are both cognizant of the rules and committed to adhering to them. ‘Good’ governance mechanisms not only ensure accountability for shared infrastructure but also streamline decision-making on resource allocation for developing and upholding crucial government systems.

Finally, setting unequivocal standards for digital identity systems becomes indispensable if these systems are to align with developmental ambitions and uphold principles of human rights, inclusion and protection.

This framework builds off a report that was published by the UN in June, called “Our Common Agenda, that discussed “the vision for the future,” which involves linking digital IDs to banking. The UN says the implementation of digital IDs will also help to fulfil the broader goal of SDG1, No Poverty.

Digital IDs linked with bank or mobile money accounts can improve the delivery of social protection coverage and serve to better reach eligible beneficiaries. Digital technologies may help to reduce leakage, errors and costs in the design of social protection programmes.

At the same time this report was published UN Chief Antonio Guterres also issued a proposal for a “Global Digital Compact,” which includes global laws against “hate and lies in the digital space,” Breitbart reported.

Digital platforms are being misused to subvert science and spread disinformation and hate to billions of people.

The proliferation of hate and lies in the digital space is causing grave global harm. This clear and present global threat demands clear and coordinated global action. We don’t have a moment to lose.

Guterres declared at the time

Days after the UNDP published their framework, The WinePress highlighted a partnership with Kazakhstan and the UNDP to launch what they call the “Digital Family Card;” a multi-use, retroactively updating social status card that allows the government to provide financial benefits and incentives. Bagdat Mussin, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan, explained how the card worked during the SDG Summit, stating:

We can monitor social and economic conditions, home conditions, healthcare, education, and others. […] We are now able to identify family problems that need to be addressed.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

I continue to harp on these digital IDs because it is a necessary catalysts for the globalists to control the masses in a number of ways, financially being the most obvious, with the introduction of CBDCs, social credit scores, and internet behavioral scores.

Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

Ecclesiastes 7:7

Economics Professor Richard Werner, the man who introduced the economic philosophy of “Quantitative Easing” (QE1 and QE2), said in an interview in July:

There is an argument to be made, and that is the entire Covid scam may have been run in order just to prepare things for the CBDCs and the real goal, or the big prize to them, [are] the CBDCs.

There is one step before then: they need digital IDs.

Werner explained, referencing the vaccine passports that did not make sense, he said, and how that framework is now being used as the basis for the new digital IDs and global health passports; for which they and the CBDCs will be interlinked, he said.
