Interior and Police (MIP) blocked the process, alleging that people lost the benefit due to failure to pay taxes on time.39 Although the decrees recognized the right to nationality of the beneficiaries, the MIP's position could generate a “second denationalization.”40 From the end of 2022, beneficiaries began to receive identity documents.41 However, only 38 people out of 799 have been accepted.42. 12. Likewise, the Law 169-14 Unit in charge of processing “Group B” naturalization applications has remained closed since 2020; in the following years, the identity documents and residence permits of these 7,000 people have expired without the possibility of renewing them.43 Thus, people in Group B find themselves in a situation of acute legal insecurity, without access to information about the status of their applications for naturalization or renewal of immigration documents.44 13. Furthermore, thanks to the efforts of civil society and UNHCR, it has been identified that there is a group of approximately 23,700 people called “B2”, people who share the characteristics of the people registered in “Group B” but were unable or unwilling to register in “Group B” within the period established by Law 169-14.45 The majority were prevented from doing so due to the short deadlines and the requirements demanded. Other people did not participate because they do not consider themselves foreigners.46 On the other hand, people born between 2007 and 2010 did not have access to a legal means to restore their nationality.47 14. Likewise, this law does not provide any measures for children of affected people born after the constitutional change of 2010, facilitating the “intergenerational transmission of statelessness.”48 With the documents obtained under Law 169-14 and the PNRE, the people affected by the ruling cannot register their descendants as citizens and transmit to them an insecure legal status.49 Within the framework of the process established by Law 169-14 for people in Group B, 75,000 minors were registered in a book for foreigners.50 In addition, 46,235 descendants of foreign parents born between 2010 and 2017 do not have access to identity documents51 and are at risk of statelessness. Among them, almost all are descendants of Haitian immigrants,52 including people affected by the Ruling. This new problem had not been addressed in previous cycles. 15. In light of the recommendations issued by the CEDAW, the permanence of the situation of underregistration of the descendants of mixed couples is highlighted, particularly those born to a Dominican father and a foreign mother or of foreign ancestry in an irregular situation.
