In light of the numerous human rights issues at stake, and in line with international human rights obligations, the Tech Coalition and companies participating in the Lantern Program have a responsibility to take action to assess and address potential harms related to the signal sharing initiative. This HRIA is an essential foundation for the ful昀椀llment of that responsibility and represents a signi昀椀cant milestone in the development of rights-based approaches to the 昀椀ght against OCSEA. 2.2 About This Project The Tech Coalition engaged BSR (a global nonpro昀椀t organization working with companies on just and sustainable business) to undertake an HRIA of the Lantern Program. The goal of the HRIA is to: • Identify and prioritize human rights impacts with which the Tech Coalition is involved through the Lantern Program, including both risks and opportunities, and the vulnerable groups impacted. • Recommend appropriate action for the Tech Coalition and participants of the program to address these impacts (i.e., avoid, prevent, mitigate, and remedy). As a result of this HRIA, the Tech Coalition should have a deepened understanding of the potential human rights impacts with which they are involved through the Lantern Program, the insights necessary to address them, and the knowledge required to take a human rights-based approach to signal sharing and governance of the program.
