Abstract
espanolEn la Republica Dominicana, el derecho a la nacionalidad de las personas nacidas en el pais y de origen haitiano es tratado con discriminacion. Por medio de una reinterpretacion amplia de la expresion «extranjeros “en transito”», la Sentencia TC/0168/13 del Tribunal Constitucional privo arbitrariamente de su nacionalidad a numerosas personas de origen haitiano, la cual habia sido adquirida por el principio del ius soli. El pretexto utilizado para llevar a cabo esta privacion de la nacionalidad fue que los padres de las victimas de dicha decision no poseian un estatus migratorio legal. Considerada incompatible con las normas del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, esta decision hace prevalecer la soberania estatal sobre el derecho a la nacionalidad, lo cual ha provocado una crisis que dificilmente puede resolverse. EnglishIn the Dominican Republic, the right to nationality of individuals that are born in that country and that are of Haitian origin is treated with discrimination. By means of a large reinterpretation of the expression aliens “in transit”, the Constitutional Court judgment in case TC/0168/13 deprived arbitrarily a great number of persons of Haitian origin from their nationality, that they acquired by the principle of ius soli. They did so just because their parents did not have a legal migratory status. Considered incompatible with the standards of the international human rights law, this decision makes prevail the state sovereignty over the right to nationality. As a result, it gave rise to a crisis that is very difficult to solve.
