The Biometrics Institute has been working with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and the Office of Counter-Terrorism (OCT) since 2017, sharing its expertise on biometrics in counter-terrorism.The institute was asked to help compile the UN's Compendium of Recommended Practices for the Responsible Use & Sharing of Biometrics in Counter Terrorism, which was launched in 2018.Following the launch of the compendium in 2018, the Biometrics Institute is now working with the UN on the awareness campaign to Member States.In March, along with CTED and OCT and joined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and INTERPOL, we briefed the representatives of all Member States in New York. We are continuing to work with the UN on the awareness campaign for the practical use of the compendium and associated training.
