Full Title or Meme
A Natural Person is a real-world Entity that should have legal standing in some jurisdiction.
Context
- Typically a Natural Person, or Carbon-based Life Form is also a Legal Person.
- Everyone has the right to be recognized as a person before the law, as enshrined in Article 6 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights[1] and Article 16 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.[2]
Problems
- Refugees have trouble acquiring the right to an identity. The UN seeks to ameliorate this difficulty every year.
- Legal names can be changed by the bearer or guardian and so cannot be relied upon to stay constant over time.
- Legal names are only valid in a legal jurisdiction, typically a sovereign state.
- Moving the bearer of the name to a region with a different alphabet will require some sort of transliteration of the name at a minimum.
- So the legal name could be different in different jurisdictions.
Solutions
- User Objects should have a name (key) that is assigned when the object is created, and that should never be changed unless some error has occurred.
- Any other Identifier in the User Object should be changeable under the right conditions.
- Each data control can decide for themselves whether they wish to track the legal status of the Subject of the database object that they track.
