Abstract
As researchers concerned with policing, forensic genetics, and bioethics, we wish to express our appreciation to the Office of the High Commissioner for your attention to the impact of digital technologies on human rights.
Our submission focuses on the application of biometric identification systems in the administration of justice, specifically forensic DNA techniques and technologies. DNA analysis is a powerful tool. By analyzing DNA samples and comparing them with other genetic profiles, forensic examiners can uncover or exclude matches between individuals or between an individual and a particular location.1 DNA analysis can play a positive role in the pursuit of justice, including for victims, missing individuals, and the wrongly accused.2
