Line 15: − == Legal Identity for all, UN SDG target 16.9== − According to ''United Nations' Department of Economic and Social Affairs' Statistics Division'', everyone has the right to be recognized as a person before the law, as enshrined in Article 6 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and Article 16 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Sustainable Development Goal Target 16.9 ("legal identity for all, including birth registration, by 2030") is key to advance the 2030 Agenda commitment to leave no one behind, and equally relevant is SDG 17.19 — support to statistical capacity-building in developing countries, monitored by the indicator "proportion of countries that have achieved 100 per cent birth registration and 80 per cent death registration".<ref>"Legal Identity for all, UN SDG target 16.9", https://unstats.un.org/legal-identity-agenda/</ref> − − ===ID Day=== − A number of groups and influencers are pumping the trendiness of "ID-Day", including biometric-update's affiliated podcast site [https://id169.com/about id169] − ''"Sept 16 is Int’l #IDday for #SDG 16.9 on #legalidentity for all."''<ref>"Sept 16 is Int’l #IDday for #SDG 16.9 on #legalidentity for all.", Sep 16, 2022, https://twitter.com/WBG_DigitalDev/status/1570910598606770176</ref> − :''What Is the Identity Day Campaign ? The Identity Day (ID Day) Campaign is the ongoing Call for government authorities in all countries around the world to officially recognize 16 September as Identity Day.''<ref>circa Jan 20 2023, https://www.id-day.org/</ref> − :''The purpose of this day is to raise awareness about the important role identity plays in empowering individuals to exercise their rights and responsibilities fairly and equitably in a modern society. Countries and organizations that choose to observe this day, would be encouraged to organize events and activities that stimulate public awareness and sensitize legislators and public servants about the responsible adoption of official identity and the necessary protections around it to ensure that it is a tool for public good.SDG 16.9 made ‘legal identity for all’ an important development goal which was embraced by all 193-member states at the United Nations. This campaign is the logical extension of that work''<ref>https://www.id-day.org/campaign</ref>
