DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Naturalisation programme launched
Following the swift approval by the Dominican Republic (DR)’s congress of a new law setting out a pathway to naturalised citizenship for the children of non-resident foreign nationals born in the DR, the government led by President Danilo Medina has moved quickly to launch a national immigration regularisation plan as set out by the law. The hope is that the plan and the new law will allay the domestic and international concerns that the controversial September 2013 ruling by the DR’s constitutional court (TC), which denies the children of undocumented foreign migrants born in the country before 2010 the right to automatically claim Dominican nationality, would result in thousands of people becoming ‘stateless’[RC-13-12].
