‘Issue may require CARICOM mediation’
Oct 03, 2013
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran yesterday said CARICOM should use its goodwill to bring about a resolution to the controversy with respect to relations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Last week the country’s Constitutional Court ruled the children of undocumented migrants who have been in the Dominican Republic and registered as Dominicans as far back as 1929 cannot have Dominican nationality, as their parents are considered to be “in transit”.
The judgment opens a new chapter in the troubled history of relations between Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic and French Creole-speaking Haiti, which share Hispaniola.
