Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Effective migration and border management is an essential aspect of national sovereignty, public safety, and regional stability. In recent years, biometric technologies have become central tools in enhancing the security, efficiency, and accountability of border control operations. These solutions — including fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris scans, and voice authentication — are increasingly integrated into border systems worldwide to streamline identity verification, reduce fraud, and improve migrant processing. This policy brief offers a comprehensive overview of the key benefits and emerging challenges associated with the deployment of biometric solutions in migration and border management, with a focus on their relevance to the Arab region. It highlights practical applications, risks, and policy considerations for member states of the League of Arab States.
