There is considerable concern among various governments about how to regulate a technology that is here to stay. Because of this, there is a strong interest in definitively establishing what is and isn't permissible when using these devices, both professionally and for recreational purposes. This time, it was none other than the UN 's International Civil Aviation Organization that proposed registering all drones worldwide in a single database.
The idea behind this project is to create a massive database storing data not only on drones, but also on their operators and owners. This internationally accessible database would greatly facilitate the identification of any drone owner, even if the drone is being flown in another country.
At the UN they propose to create a database capable of containing records of all drones, owners and controllers worldwide
As is often the case, this idea also has its drawbacks, and in this instance, the problem is that the International Civil Aviation Organization literally lacks the power to mandate this regulation in each country . For now, it hasn't been revealed how the UN, which also supports this idea, intends to implement this registry globally, although this is a point under review, despite the fact that the first criticisms, related to privacy, are already being voiced by some users.
Despite all this, the truth is that a harmonized regulation would make it easier for a user to fly their drones anywhere in the world. In turn, this database would also help companies with their manufacturing processes.
