Refugees meeting hears proposal to register every human in GENEVA, Dec 13 AAP|Published: Friday December 14, 7:18 AM
Every person in the world would be fingerprinted and registered under a universal identification scheme to fight illegal immigration and people smuggling outlined at a United Nations meeting today.
The plan was put forward by Pascal Smet, the head of Belgium's independent asylum review board, at a roundtable meeting with ministers including Australian Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock this afternoon.
Mr Smet said the European Union was already considering a Europe-wide system, using either fingerprints or eye scanning technology, to identify citizens.
But he said the plan could be extended worldwide. "There are no technical problems. It is only a question of will and investment," he said. "If you look to our societies, we are already registered from birth until death. Our governments know who we are and what we are. But one of the basic problems is the numbers of people in the world who are not registered, who do not have a set identity, and when these people move with real or fake passports, you cannot identify them.
"It's a basic rule of management that if you want to manage something, you measure it. It's the same with human beings and migration.
"But instead of measuring it, you have to register them."
Mr Smet said the scheme would give people dignity by giving them an identity if their papers had been lost or destroyed.
And he said it would allow countries to open their borders to genuine travellers or asylum seekers, because they would be able to prove the identity of any over-stayers and deport them without argument from their home country.
Mr Ruddock appeared unconvinced by the merits of the plan.
"In principle we would be supportive of a system which would crack down on multiple asylum claims, but a universal identification system would be taking it too far," he said through a spokeswoman.

Thanks for the info. Some LE also want the outside edge of the hand and the finger tips. (for the accused, not CCL)
Blow it out your ass Mr. Smet. I don't want to be managed, what say you about that?
It's time to dismantle the UN. Give NY back to the New Yorkers.
Cite what??
Want to hear it from Dan Rather or Jennings? Use your common sense, put together the occurrences around you.
CITE.
Digital Angel, National I.D. cards, Biometric Scanning, Face Recognition Software, Red Light Cameras, National Health Care (remember that?)Retinal Scans,Echelon, DNA databases, Carnivore....etc., etc, etc...and that's what we've been told about!
Where have you been man, WAKE UP!
Never mind, you've been asleep for so long now, it doesn't matter, we're already screwed.
You don't suppose it has anything to do with the fact that americans have been sleeping for the past 30 years and there hasn't been a reason until now because We the People have awoken from their trance to find their country ensconsed in socialism which the PTB never thought you'd catch on to until all their one world laws are on the books?
How come so many of you can't connect the dots between Bush Sr's speech on ushering in the new world order and his son's potential to follow in his Dad's footsteps? I mean, how many of you know how far the apple falls from the tree? How many of you have taken the time to find out the truth about our governing body and how any governing body will attempt to stay in power until their dying days? Some of you are like incorrigible kids who won't listen to reasonable people bearing facts and figures, instead you insist there are no evil people in our .gov aside from democrats - and all republicans are angels from G_d. Some refuse to believe that we have, for all intents and purposes, one party, members who basically draw straws for good cop/bad cop roles to keep We the People thinking there are two distinct parties running the show! If this were true, why hasn't our present administration thrown the Cl_ntons in jail where they belong? Why are Cl_nton appointees still hanging around? Why were we lied to about OKC now that we hear that some .gov officials knew there were arabs involved in the OKC bombing? Why the lies about TWA800 now that we know it was taken down by a missile and all evidence has been conveniently destroyed? Why can't anyone view the Afghan battlefield? Why weren't reporters allowed close to the WTC site? What about the stock market bonanza during 9/11 that Germany is now investigating? I could go on and on, but I think you get my drift. Why rationalize and justify this admin's actions instead of insisting on doing what's right for We the People?
I personally have shared with this forum every document and book that refutes what is being fed to us by the governing elites and have referenced documents about the plan for global governance which our .gov is busy putting in place right before our very eyes with the smug assurance that the majority of americans are too lazy and too dumb to see it coming. Unfortunately, this is probably one of the few times they will declare the Truth.
Carrion.
Leave it to the UN to solve the world's problems. I got one finger they can print
ROFL! You beat me to it TG. :)
Where have we heard this rational before? Bwahaha!!!
Good grief, don't be silly. There's not going to be some program that requires marks on foreheads. Everyone will have a choice to get it on their forehead or right hand.
As for me, if the mid- or post-tribbers happen to be right, I'll be declining it altogether thank you very much.

I fully agree with your point on the .50 cal. Especially since to my knowledge it's NEVER been used in a crime nor by a terrorist on our own soil. I heard tell the Branch Davidians had a few, but they didn't use them...or more ATF nazis...uh...I mean AGENTS would have been injured or killed.
I figure if ANY of my guns make the government "nervous" then I'd better find out which ones and buy a few more...just to keep 'em honest! LOL
Not at all. We are the first generation to actually make this come true. Any emperor could have ordered it, but only our generation has the ability to make it happen, and all it takes is a decision to actually do it.
Also, as a student of the Bible, I see this as fascinating, yet frightful, for it shows that we have not been living as we should, especially myself, and the time is running out before Christ returns. It is time for all who call themselves believers to straighten up and focus on acting like believers instead of 'Tea Party' activists dressed up like Indians, (No matter how much I felt satisfied to do so!)
(_!_)
I'll try not to smudge.
Me too. :-)
