InterID and UNICEF Meet to Discuss Cooperation on Child Identification Issues
On the morning of Thursday, February 8th, the International Identification Institute (InterID) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) held a virtual meeting for an institutional presentation of both entities, highlighting their priority areas of focus. Among the topics discussed were child sub-identification, which leads to numerous crimes against children in Brazil and worldwide, immigrant identification, and the identification of indigenous children. Célio Ribeiro, CEO of InterID, expressed his satisfaction with the unique opportunity to learn more about UNICEF’s activities and to share InterID’s efforts in addressing challenges such as sub-identification, the abduction of minors from maternity wards, and child trafficking. He emphasized that these issues are partly a result of the country’s still inefficient identification system. Ribeiro highlighted the crucial role played by UNICEF, describing it as a key initiative to improve the quality of life for Brazilians, especially for children who receive due attention from the UN on matters of collective interest. UNICEF’s work on immigration issues was also emphasized during the meeting. With the increasing influx of families from neighboring nations and areas experiencing civil conflict, it is common for foreign children to be born or enter national territory without proper documentation. “In this context, UNICEF’s role has been vital in providing support and assistance to these families, as identity is an essential factor for the social inclusion of native-born, naturalized, and foreign Brazilians,” Ribeiro explained. When asked about the current status of the National Identification Card (CIN) implementation, Célio Ribeiro briefly outlined the progress and success of the project, stressing its importance in child identification. He foresees significant progress in neonatal identification through the use of the electronic Live Birth Certificate (DNV-e), which will enhance security by linking the biometrics of the child and the mother. Participants from UNICEF included Rosana Veiga, Head of the Child and Adolescent Protection Area Against Violence; Deborah Grajzer, Child Protection Officer; and Ana Carolina, Child Protection Specialist in Emergency Situations. Rosana Veiga recognized the importance of InterID’s initiatives, acknowledging their relevance and contribution to raising awareness of critical issues. As a result of the meeting, both institutions committed to keeping each other informed about their activities in the field of child identification, with the aim of generating information for the formalization of a Technical Cooperation Agreement and/or studies that could provide UNICEF with valuable and crucial data for decision-making.

“II Brazilian Identity Seminar – CIN – IDentity and citizenship” brought good news to Brazil
The “II Brazilian Identity Seminar – CIN – IDentity and citizenship”, was marked by important announcements made by the director-president of the International Institute of Identification (InterID) and executive secretary of the Mixed Parliamentary Front to Guarantee the Right to Identity (FrenID), Célio Ribeiro. In his speech, Ribeiro expressed great satisfaction with the evolution of the National Identity Card (CIN) project, highlighting the importance of integration between the federative units and the federal government in the management of civil identity. “Our National Identity Card and our project are gaining strength, integrating with the federation units and building what is most important: a structure in the federal government to manage this. This is a struggle that we have been facing for many years, that of having an institution dedicated to civil identity,” he commented. He acknowledged the challenges faced in mobilizing institutions to prioritize this project, especially in the context of the government’s multiple responsibilities. Ribeiro emphasized that, despite the difficulties, the commitment and dedication resulted in the prioritization of CIN, reflecting President Lula’s commitment to the idea of a unique and civic identity. “I really need to thank the people who are here, especially the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic and the Ministry of Management and Innovation, through the Digital Government Secretariat. These are the two basic pillars of identification that advance, through CEFIC, our identification in Brazil. Believe me, it is a very big effort being made. It’s not simple, it’s not easy”, highlighted Ribeiro. The fight for identity as an instrument of citizenship, according to him, has the vital support of the federation units, which play a daily role in the lives of citizens and which, until now, lacked effective integration to issue a secure identity. The InterID representative highlighted the transformative role of the project, which now makes this integration possible and reinforces document security. Furthermore, Célio Ribeiro highlighted the fundamental support of the legislative branch through FrenID, coordinated by federal deputy Flávia Morais, highlighting her as an enthusiastic and dedicated ally, especially in the search for budgetary resources. “On the other hand, we also have the support of parliament. We seek the creation of the Mixed Parliamentary Front for the Guarantee of the Right to Identity, where we have our general coordinator, deputy Flávia Morais, an enthusiast, a friend, someone who has dedicated herself to this cause. This is fundamental for several aspects, and one of them, which she will talk about, is the budget. We need to look for resources, and the front will be very active in this,” she pointed out. Finally, Ribeiro celebrated the success in structuring the CIN, a milestone that, according to him, represents a great achievement and the country’s greatest citizenship instrument, expressing gratitude for the support received and reiterating the commitment to the implementation of the CIN. “So, thanking all of you who are here watching and supporting us, I want to say once again that we are winning, we won this fight and we are going to implement our National Identity Card, the greatest instrument of citizenship in this country”, he concluded.
