About SyRI

  • The Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs developed SyRI in 2014.
  • Aim of the SyRI was to remove those who commit fraud and receive government benefits.
  • Similar to the Supreme Court’s Aadhaar judgment setting limits on the ID’s usage, the Hague Court attempted to balance social interest with personal privacy.
