DLT in Migration Policy: How Blockchain Can Help Both Refugees and Host Nations
Given the importance and difficulty of a decent migration policy, can we rely on decentralized technologies to make it better?
As Norwegian Refugee Council research found, 70 percent of Syrian refugees lack basic identification and documents showing ownership of property.
While billionaires keep their good deeds in secret, the U.N. — the main international force in providing humanitarian aid and migration assistance — already stepped up in adopting blockchain technology.
Of course, blockchain can’t solve all of the political problems that immigration policy suffers.
Thus, we can’t question something illiberal in those biocontrol capacities that blockchain could help obtain for governmental immigration agencies.
