KINGSTON, Jamaica – This is a submission from the Mona campus organisation, UWI Leads Social Justice and Change.
We write in response to your article 'Patterson urges CARICOM to condemn Dom Rep's latest immigration law against Haitians' dated Thursday, October 10, 2013, where former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson expressed his displeasure and disgust at the displacement of thousands of Haitians from the Dominican Republic.
We join in consolidation to continue the conversation and call our regional leaders to take action and denounce the effort of the Dominican Republic in regards to their neighbours.
Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to a nationality and that no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality, nor denied the right to change his nationality.
