COVID-19, BREXIT, global terrorism, and political ideologies such as “America First” have increasingly laid bare ethical, political and operational stresses attached to international border crossings. Organizations tasked with the management of international borders are having to cope with new threats to border management and more and more are choosing to incorporate the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies within their border management processes as a means of governing mobility. However, whilst the introduction of IoT can introduce a number of benefits, the adaptation of new technologies presents substantial challenges to border management organizations and can introduce a number of unforeseen risks such as encroachment on the rights of the individual, lack of transparent governance, absence of legal legitimacy, opaque delegation of responsibilities between communitarian organizations and unethical decision-making or behavior. This article proposes a framework for the adaptation of IoT by border management organizations which aims at helping border management organizations overcome the challenges presented by the implementation of IoT. The implementation of this framework includes wide-ranging changes to the structure of the organization, changes to processes and systems, and changes to the continuous training and development of staff members.
