Haiti - FLASH : Diplomatic clash between Haiti and the DR 06/11/2024 05:57:38
On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Dominique Dupuy, Haiti's Minister of Foreign Affairs, welcomed a reduction in expulsions of Haitians residing in an irregular migratory situation in Dominican territory. "We welcome the reduction in expulsions, the fruit of our efforts and our solidarity with our [international] allies. Haiti aspires to a frank and respectful dialogue with the Government of the Dominican Republic, for an association where each Nation finds its advantages." The Chancellor accompanied this message with a video in which she reaffirms previous statements in which she considers the mass expulsions launched by the Dominican Republic as discriminatory and racist and informs that she has brought these cases of mass expulsions before international organizations such as the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) organizations... Denial by the Dominican Republic : Faride Raful, the Minister of Interior and Police of the Dominican Republic, reacted vigorously to the statements of Dominique Dupuy, who declared that Haiti is celebrating a "reduction in deportations" thanks to its efforts and solidarity with international allies. The Minister categorically denied that the number of repatriations had been reduced at the request of the Haitian Government or international pressure and accused Chancellor Dupuy of spreading inaccurate information. "We categorically deny any allegation regarding an alleged reduction in repatriations at the request of Haiti. The statements of Haitian Foreign Minister Dominique Dupuy are false and seek to interfere in our internal affairs." Recalling "Immigration policy is a sovereign right of each State. No country or international organization has the power to interfere in the internal decisions of the Dominican Republic." Faride Raful clarified that the Dominican Government firmly maintains its commitment to repatriate foreigners in an irregular migratory situation, within the framework of the law and in respect of human rights, but without giving in to external pressures "The DR reaffirms its commitment to the implementation of its plan [...] We will pursue the objective of repatriating 10,000 undocumented migrants per week, in the full exercise of our sovereignty. Protected by national laws and the Dominican Constitution." Finally, to confirm her remarks, Minister Faride Raful shared precise figures on the number of Haitians returned to Haiti between October 2nd and November 5, 2024, a period during which a total of 60,961 Haitians were deported, repatriated (turned back at the border) including voluntary returns. Latest official figures from the General Directorate of Migration (DGM) : The General Directorate of the DGM revealed that last October, 60,961 foreigners in an irregular migratory situation were returned to Haiti. 43,148 were deported and repatriated (turned back at the border) and 14,970 agreed to voluntarily return to Haiti for non-compliance with the regulations established by the General Migration Law 285-04 and its implementing regulation Decree 631-11. Between January and October, 406,860 foreigners in an irregular migratory situation [mostly Haitians] were returned to their country of origin, said the Director General of Immigration, Luis Rafael Lee Ballester, who stressed that since his first day at the head of the DGM, he has ensured that the processes comply with protocols, respecting the human rights, dignity and integrity of foreigners.
