Haiti disagrees with court ruling on migrants in Dominican Republic

Oct 07, 2013

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Haitian officials on Saturday expressed strong disagreement with a Dominican Republic court ruling that denies citizenship to children of Haitian migrants.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs deeply regrets that Haitians and their Dominican descendants who have contributed significantly to the current progress of the Dominican Republic for their work and sacrifice are now treated as foreigners in transit,” said the Haitian foreign ministry in a brief statement.
It said the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court ruling violates several international laws, agreements and covenants, including a 2005 Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruling.
