Sever Diplomatic and Commercial ties with the Dominican Republic, denounce the Human Rights Violations Sent. TC-168-13

On September 23, the Dominican Republic’s Tribunal Constitution issued a decision based on race and national origins, that stripped the citizenship of Dominicans born to immigrants without legal status, of which the vast majority are Haitian. A government census earlier this year suggest that as many as 210,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent could be stripped of their Dominican citizenship. The Dominican Constitution of 2010, although it declares that children of those “who are in transit or reside illegally” in the country are not citizens, recognizes the citizenship of those who were citizens prior to the date the new Constitution went into effect (Art. 18). The Constitution also prohibits the application of laws retroactively (Art. 110). NUREMBERG 1935 IS LIVED AGAIN IN THE AMERICAS
