denied a copy of her birth certificate again, and told that her case was still under
investigation.
There is no legal justification to support this situation, nor in the previous constitution, which
allowed us to have the nationality, not in the present constitution, which clearly states that
"Dominicans are all those who enjoyed the nationality prior to the entry into force of the new
Constitution ". Besides, all these cases are people who were born more than 20 or 30 years
ago under legislation that granted them the nationality and was the same state who
recognized them that right.
Even in a clear intention by the state to make us believe that Dominicans of Haitian descent
population is very small in the country, it is important to note that they represent
approximately 10% of the total population of the Dominican Republic, in a way this has
stopped the human development of these people and represents a large-scale atrocity.
That is why we continue to insist that:
1. The Dominican authorities declare without effect the resolution 012 of 2007 and any
administrative practices that exclude and violate all the rights of Dominicans of Haitian
descent.
2. That the various UN agencies, verify that the subsidies granted to the Dominican State
agencies are not used to implement and promote policies of exclusion and marginalization of
the most vulnerable.
Thank you very much!
