standards. Information about existing technology procurement should
be proactively made available to the public, as well as information about
the extent of deployment, use, and impact of technologies like CCTV.
Given the current status quo, we make the following recommendations.
To the military junta in Myanmar
1. First and foremost, restore democracy and rule of law.
2. Immediately stop the purchase, development, and use of technologies
that impact human rights, in particular emotion recognition technologies
and other technologies described in this report.
To the private sector
1. Refrain from selling smart city infrastructures to authoritarian
dictatorships or deploying such technology on their behalf.
2. Design, develop, and use smart city infrastructures including CCTV and
biometric technologies in accordance with the UN's Guiding Principles
on Business and Human Rights.
3. Perform and publish data protection impact assessments, human
rights impact assessments, and risk assessment reports, and establish
and adequately communicate procedures to mitigate risk and protect
individuals’ human rights and provide effective remedies when
breaches occur.
