A/HRC/33/22 measures to reach the poorest, most geographically or otherwise isolated and most marginalized groups of the population; (b) Specific measures in this respect should include the removal of registration fees, penalties for late registration and unreasonable documentation requirements, and efforts to make registration documents comprehensible and available in minority and local languages; (c) Awareness-raising on the rights, benefits and responsibilities of civil registration is crucial to expanding registration rates. Interoperability, whereby civil registration services are provided via existing health or other services, has demonstrably supported access. Access to services and other entitlements should not be conditional on being registered or in possession of a birth certificate; (d) It is essential that civil registration processes be designed with a view to ensuring non-discrimination and safeguarding against potential human rights risks, including risks to the right to privacy. Minimal information should be recorded on birth certificates, and any information obtained through civil registration processes that may lead to discrimination against an individual should be kept confidential by law; (e) The commitment to improved and disaggregated data in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development offers an opportunity to expand a human rights approach to data, yet at the same time it poses challenges for the protection of human rights. The Sustainable Development Goal monitoring and review process should be carried out on the basis of core human rights principles and standards throughout the data collection process, and in relation to data disaggregation. 18
