Biometric surveillance used for security and counter-terrorism

Biometric technologies are increasingly used by security and counter-terrorism forces. However, in the absence of effective regulation and accountability, governments have started abusing biometrics by tracking and surveilling protesters, activists, and political dissidents, especially in public spaces.
In democratic societies, the use of such technology for security and counter-terrorism must be limited to strictly necessary, proportionate and legitimate goals, making sure that people's rights and freedoms are safeguarded.
