The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights expressed deep concern over a recent ruling [3] of the Constitutional Court of the Dominican Republic which upheld a 2010 constitutional amendment excluding the Dominican-born children of undocumented Haitian migrants from Dominican citizenship.  According to a news report [4], the Constitutional Court additionally ordered retroactive application of the amendment, instructing authorities to commence an audit of all birth records dating back to June 1929 so as to determine who, under the amendment, is not entitled to Dominican citizenship.  According to the press release [5], the IACHR reiterated its appeal to the Dominican Republic to respect the “the right to the nationality of the state in whose territory he was born if he does not have the right to any other nationality” as provided for in the American Convention on Human Rights.
