Blockchain is a technology as fascinating as fast-evolving. It is a data recording paradigm which allows encrypted transactions among the participating entities in the network. These transaction data are then recorded on a public ledger through a multi-party authentication process. The absence of central authority and the immutability of the recorded data make corruption or fraud less likely on Blockchain, which contributes to its increasing popularity today. Its most famous application is cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Unbeknownst to the general public, however, is the flexibility of Blockchain that can be applied to many purposes other than cryptocurrency. For this research, I explore the potential usage of Blockchain for protection and promotion of human rights around the world. My hypothesis is the implication of blockchain for applications for human rights, both socio-economic and civil-political. I intend to focus on three human rights specifically: access to food and shelter, rights to political participation, and rights to healthcare. By the end of this research, I will have approached this through the case studies of countries that have started applying the technology in various usages. For instance, in Spain, Estonia, and South Korea, companies and organizations started developing and using voting systems based on Blockchain; in Jordan, the UN World Food Program provided Ethereum voucher to Syrian refugees to help their needs. I will also have explored its technical limitations by examining cybersecurity risks of various blockchain technologies. For instace, I will have looked into the blockchain technologies which cryptocurrency companies have used, such as the DAO, Mt. Gox, and Bitfinex, which experienced cyberattacks and lost hundreds of millions of dollars. For a successful application of Blockchain to human rights protection, such cybersecurity risks must be identified and prevented. I expect to find that despite its evident vulnerabilites, blockchain has indisputable benefits must be utilized for human rights protection.
