Your DNA tests will not be use for lineage or genealogical purposes | DNA test in Kuwait
Published in KUWAIT TIMES & quoted from Zawya
MoI has promised not to use the test for lineage or genealogical reasons. What are the guarantees it won’t do so?
This has been confirmed by the law itself. In addition, MoI plans building this database with the aim of limiting crimes and accelerate culprits’ identification.
The database will be also used in case of natural disasters or major incidents that leave behind bodies that can only be identified through DNA tests.
The DNA testing law that will go into effect this year is aimed at creating an integrated security database and does not include genealogical implications or affects personal freedoms and privacy. Senior officials told Kuwait Times that the law, the first of its kind in the world, will only be used for criminal security purposes. When the law (no. 78/2015) is applied, it will be binding on all citizens, expatriates and visitors too. A Kuwaiti security delegation had earlier visited Washington to study DNA testing systems there.

The National Assembly passed the DNA testing law on July 2, 2015 that will be mandatory on everyone in Kuwait in order to fight crime and terrorism. Kuwait Times was given exclusive and rare access to the DNA lab located at the General Department of Criminal Evidence in Dajeej in an effort to learn more about the latest developments regarding the law.
Senior officials in charge of the project, who spoke to Kuwait Times on the condition of anonymity, explained how the database will be used, the process of collecting samples and privacy concerns.
