<p>Human identities are a very special case, particularly those issued by governments. We know that they are not the only type and that the others are also important and have interesting business implications, but human ones have distinctive characteristics. Let us see why.</p>

<p>Identity is a fundamental human right that underpins personal <em>dignity</em> and <em>autonomy</em>. Article 6 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "<em>Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law</em>" <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-udhr" title="Universal Declaration of Human Rights">[UDHR]</a>.</p>
<p>This principle is reinforced by Article 16 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which states that "<em>everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law</em>" <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-iccpr" title="International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights">[ICCPR]</a>. Although the term "identity" is not explicitly used, its concept is inherent in recognizing the identity as a person.</p>

<p>Despite being a right, much work still needs to be done to provide identities for all the population.</p>
<p>However, target 16.9 of the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to achieve "<em>legal identity for all, including birth registration</em>" <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-sdgs-16" title="Sustainable Development Goals">[SDGS-16]</a>.</p>
