Complete, within a period of one year, the process of confirmation and restitution of nationality provided for in Law 169-14 for the 34,000 to 35,000 people in Group A and the 7,159 people in Group B. IV. Adopt a decree that establishes a quick and simple mechanism for the restoration of nationality to people in Group B2, with special attention to children and adolescents. V.
