## Practices

> * Delineate liability and recourse mechanisms within the legal framework, ensuring that individuals have clear protections against inappropriate data access, undue surveillance, and unlawful profiling.
> * Empower independent regulatory bodies with specific powers and consistent funding to oversee the enforcement of these legal frameworks, fostering public trust.
> * Balance regulatory and self-regulatory models to promote innovation and investment without compromising legal protections or stifling competition.
> * Establish legal and regulatory frameworks that ensure cross-border interoperability and mutual recognition of identification systems (and other DPI systems).
