Abstract
The article presents the use and misuse of population data systems in human rights abuses. It references the earlier version of the article presented by William Seltzer at the International Association of Official Statistics 2000 Conference in Montreux, Switzerland on September 4-8, 2000. The uses of such population data systems include taxation purposes, military and economic planning and analysis. However, a documented review of the history of genocide and forced migration is discussed as a result of the misuse of population data systems.
