(LifeSiteNews) — The United Nations has proposed the worldwide adoption of bank account-linked digital IDs as part of its “Global Digital Compact” policy recommendations, raising concerns that virtually all governments could use such IDs to oppress their critics.
A May 2023 policy brief explained that the UN aims to guide governments and private corporations across the world in working together to achieve the global body’s vision for the world’s “digital future,” which includes “digital IDs linked with bank or mobile money accounts,” according to the document.
The digital ID proposal is ostensibly aimed at helping to fulfill the UN’s 2030 Agenda mandate to “reduce poverty,” by helping to minimize “leakage, errors and costs” in the “delivery of social protection coverage” — essentially government benefits — to beneficiaries.
The 2030 Agenda was adopted by the UN in 2015 and establishes a set of 17 goals that are rooted in Marxist theory.
