The European Network of National Human Rights Institutions (ENNHRI) published the scoping paper Technologies, migration, and human rights: the role of European NHRIs. A contribution to the paper was also made by the Human Rights Ombudsman of the Republic of Slovenia.

New technologies are increasingly used in the context of asylum, migration, and border governance, and national human rights institutions (NHRIs) have an important role to play in ensuring human rights compliance in this fast-evolving area. As the impact and risks that the use of these technologies has on migrants’ rights is still underexplored, the paper aims to guide NHRIs in better understanding of the implications behind the interaction of emerging technologies with migrants’ rights, as well as providing introductory insights useful for NHRIs engagement.
