iciHaiti - Dominican Rep. : Haiti condemns the treatment of repatriated Haitians
21/11/2022 07:39:08

In a note, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Government of Haiti, deplores the images and reports disseminated in particular on social networks, relating to the degrading treatment inflicted on fellow Haitians repatriated from the Dominican Republic, underlining "[...] the general indignation aroused by these facts cannot leave the Government of Haiti indifferent [...]

On behalf of the Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns these shameful treatments which tarnish the image of the Dominican Republic throughout the world [...]

The Government of Haiti recognizes the sovereign right of the Dominican Republic to regulate migratory flows within its territory according to its legislation and duly ratified international conventions; it nevertheless calls on it to grant its nationals treatment that respects human dignity and renews its commitment to compliance with the protocol signed in December 1999 on repatriation procedures.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued instructions to the Chargé d'Affaires of Haiti in the Dominican Republic so that he expresses to the Dominican Chancellery the concerns of the Haitian Government regarding these facts."

Finally, the Ministry reiterates to the Dominican Government "its desire to continue working for the strengthening of harmonious relations on the basis of respect for the principles of international law."
