At Amnesty, under international human rights law, we don’t believe that there is necessity, proportionality or legitimacy. This facial recognition technology isn’t compatible with the right to privacy, the right to non-discrimination, the right to peaceful assembly or freedom of movement. All these rights are severely compromised under a system that is, by design, effectively a system of mass surveillance and therefore unlawful.

Very true, this technology is used to further dehumanize Palestinians under occupation
