Surveillance for Identification

In this episode, we look at the opaque use of biometric surveillance technologies in North Macedonia and Serbia, two key countries along the so-called Balkan Route. States are increasingly using biometric data, such as fingerprints and iris scans, to identify and categorise people on the move under the guise of enhancing security. However, these practices raise serious concerns about potential human rights violations and the surveillance of vulnerable populations. Sound Design: Brian Mcnamara SoundGraphic Design: Marlene Janke and Dan SchoolarFor the full list of episodes, transcripts and additional resources, visit https://invisible-borders.jimdosite.com/ Hosted on Acast.
