The Dominican Republic, a nation that's presently known for its denationalization of Haitians and Haitian-Dominican citizens, rejected a human rights report earlier this month, which states that the Dominican Republic government is guilty of discrimination due to its recent court ruling that will leave hundreds of thousands of Haitians stateless and without citizenship, according to a study.

The 210,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent who born after the year 1929 discovered that their citizenship would be revoked, as well as 34,000 others who were born to parents of foreign nationalities, according to a U.N. report. The Dominican Republican government insists that 24,000 people will be affected by the sentencia (the court ruling).

The ­Huffington Post indicated that the Commission President Jose Je Jesus Orozco of Inter-American Commission on Human Rights claims that DR is deciding individual nationalities based on private arbitration. The organization said that it received nearly 4,000 testimonies and complaints from people who have been affected by the court ruling. 

The sentencia was administered under the leadership of Danilo Medina, president of the Dominican Republic. He claimed that the U.N. report was "subjective, partial and unilateral." The president's administration insists that the court ruling doesn't affect as many individuals as the U.N. report indicates because foreigners living illegally in the country aren't not necessarily granted citizenship --therefore, citizenship is cannot be revoked; rather, corrections are being made.

"The government is acting in accordance with our constitution, and as such, it will follow the court's ruling," a statement from Medina's administration said.

Civil rights organizations, and Latino politicians and activists, have reached out in the past, asking that the president block the court ruling. The Medina administration's support of the sentencia proves that he's unlikely to block it.
