    \n
  • The people we serve are increasingly connected and online, accessing digital content and services.<\/span><\/strong> Alongside these opportunities, they face new digital risks. These include online targeting of people on the move for exploitation, toxic online narratives and hate speech, false, inaccurate and deceptive information and threats to their right to privacy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • UNHCR and partners are increasingly using digital channels to communicate with the people we serve<\/span><\/strong>. These channels are strengthening accountability to affected people and access to protection information and services.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The digitalization of border control offers opportunities to increase access to asylum but can also put lives at risk and threaten protection<\/span><\/strong>. It is increasingly recognized that digital tools, including those developed and used by the private sector and governments, must respect the principles of the international protection framework. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • The United Nations and other standard-setting bodies are concentrating their attention on ethics and the protection of rights in the digital world.<\/span><\/strong> The application of ethical and international human rights standards also provides a guiding framework for UNHCR\u2019s own use of digital technology.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Host States, regional and global standard-setting bodies are establishing new legislative and regulatory frameworks<\/span><\/strong> to enable eGovernment and the digital economy, including crucial digital financial services. Protection safeguards for the communities we serve are required to enable their safe digital inclusion.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The digitalization of host States\u2019 civil registration and national identification systems often aim to close the identity gap, which currently leaves many undocumented citizens as well as forcibly displaced and stateless communities without the trusted identity credentials<\/strong> needed to access mainstream services.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
