Discussion on "Recognition through Education, Cultural Rights and Data Collection" 2013, para. 85 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special data-processing methods are necessary for protecting people's identity, in particular procedures that ensure anonymity and guarantee that data could not be traced back to individuals. There is a difference between personal data, which are subject to special protection, and processing impersonal statistical data, which is permitted for historical, statistical or scientific purposes. In that regard, efforts should be made to neutralize the risks inherent in identifying individuals and examine how the data could be dissociated from the identification of individuals. Relevant practice in the field of medicine could be an important guide. | Working Group of experts on people of African descent | Special Procedures' report |
