BiggerOAS convenes emergency session to address mass deportations of Haitians from the Dominican Republic
Washington.- The president of the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Lynn Raymond Young, convened an extraordinary session to address the mass deportations of Haitians from the Dominican Republic. The meeting was requested by the Permanent Mission of Haiti to review the conditions faced by migrants in the Dominican Republic and is scheduled to take place at 3 p.m. in the Libertador Simón Bolívar Hall at OAS headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The session comes in response to the Dominican government’s recent announcement to repatriate up to 10,000 undocumented foreigners weekly, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from Haitian authorities, who view it as a violation of their citizens’ human rights.
Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille expressed concern over the situation and announced the formation of a task force to address the deportees’ needs. He also intends to intensify diplomatic efforts to engage with Dominican and international officials, condemning the measures as an affront to human dignity and fundamental rights.
Boo hoo , now they care about Haitians rights in another country but not in Haiti.
The Dominican government has the right to expel illegals from its territory. But it must do so while respecting human rights. It is 2024. Also, it must ensure that the Haitians expelled do not actually have legal status.
This is the problem. I personally think that the Dominican government is doing everything possible to treat the illegal Haitians in a respectful way. The problem is that the Haitian government does not want their own people back.
NO , there is no Haitian government, the problem is the Dominican government made 5 generations of Dominicans stateless when they altered their constitution in 2010 and ignored binding treaty’s they signed onto. You know how difficult it is to get a birth certicate from a country your weren’t even born in?. If the Dominican Government was doing “everything possible”, they would close that border for real, not extort them for cash and release them. thats not respectful, thats not helping. but they never will. You know why “JAMES”.? because its not cost effective. You can supliment all your soildiers wages at that border at zero cost to your GDP. That border will always be corrupted. You can blame the haitians for all the problems that your corrupt police, military and government consistently refuse to address, forever. Their easily indentifiable, They have no rights and they’re going to keep coming here because there is nothing over there, and your underpaid solidiers and military love it. Thats the problem. “JAMES”
M DAKO AVEK OU WI TOUSSAINT, MEN FOK LI FET NAN RESPE POU DWAN YON MOUN .Humiliating a human being is not the right way to do deportation, breaking and kicking their doors at 3am in the morning is a shame on DR .
you know what’s also a shame? the blatant disregard for laws and sovereignty, It’s not about humiliation, it’s about protecting our borders and managing a crisis that has long overwhelmed our resources. was it a shame when Haitians allowed their country to fall into chaos and corruption, leaving millions desperate enough to flee? It’s not about doors kicked in at 3 a.m. it’s about a country overrun with undocumented people because their own leaders have abandoned them, the real shame is in a government that can’t or won’t take care of its own citizens, forcing them to seek survival elsewhere. where’s the outrage when haiti’s leadership lets its own nation crumble, pushing its people to the edge? dont call it a shame on RD for doing what Haiti refuses to do, protect and prioritize its own people.
So a responsible Government who really want to protect its soveriegnty would close its border, right?. If they really wanted to “protect and prioritize” its own people. They would stop taking bribes on that border, right? Because they’re Dominican, they wear the flag on their uniform and they care about that border, Right?. And when they pick them up on the streets or in their private residences in santiago or santo domingo. they actually get deported. they dont take a bribe and release them giving the station commandante his cut, right? its a haitian problem, right?. In 2010 your government broke binding treatys and altered its constitution , making over 5 generations of Dominicans stateless, thay’s Haiti’s fault right. ok got it.
The United States intervened and provided a solution that works for everyone involved and that is to take in deported Haitians from DR and repatriate them to the U.S. with financial support to get them “on their feet” and brought to any state they would like. They’ve seen volumes increase from a flight every two weeks from DR to two a week – mangy of which paperwork is in many cases last or ignored in what seems to be an attempt to eliminate paper trails
