| Title | Blockchain for Human Rights and E-Governance |
| Summary | Even though it is early to celebrate the success of these initiatives as they are still evolving and yet to achieve their stated objectives, it is worth noting that Blockchains are being deployed to support a growing number of human rights claims – to conduct free and fair elections; mapping land ownership for safeguarding tribal rights; documenting instances of environment pollution for building evidence for public interest litigations; bringing transparency, efficiency and effectiveness in policy implantation; curbing corruption; aiding free speech and countering fake news; and easing economic hardships during hyperinflation. The objective of this paper is to conduct an in-depth study of the adoption of blockchain technology and understand the scope and challenges in the context of two sectors i.e., Supply Chain and Digital Identity. The author will also put forward recommendations under the idea of ‘governance through blockchain and governance of blockchain’. |
