Human Rights of Haitian Migrants and their Descendants in the
Dominican Republic
CAMBRIDGE, MA The Carr Center for Human Rights and David Rockefeller
Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) will host a discussion on the
right to nationality of migrants descendants in the Dominican Republic
with David Baluarte, Bridget Wooding, and Jacqueline Bhabha. The event
will be held on Wednesday, April 8 from 3pm to 4:30pm in the Malkin
Penthouse in the Littauer Building at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Refreshments will be served.
Since the constitutional law reform on Sept 23, 2013, the Dominican
Republic has effectively removed the right to nationality of tens of
thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent who fail to prove they and
their descendants held legal citizenship from 1929 until today. This
measure will increase the number of stateless persons from an estimated
40,000 to 200,000. International bodies like the OAS, IACHR, CARICOM, and
UNHCR have denounced the measure as discriminatory, xenophobic, and as a
clear violation of the internationally recognized human right to a
nationality.
Join the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) and
the Carr Center for Human Rights for a discussion with David Baluarte and
Bridget Wooding moderated by Jacqueline Bhabha.
