In response to the effects generated by the judgment TC/0168/13, the administration of President Danilo Medina promoted, with the support of many political and social actors, the adoption of the Law 169-14, which was approved unanimously by Congress and it entered into force on May 23, 2014. The Law 16914 divided people affected by judgment TC/0168/13 into two groups which were called Group A and Group B. In connection with persons of Group A, the law established the validation of the birth certificates and the restoration of nationality to persons born on Dominican territory between June 16, 1929 and April 18, 2007, whose births had been registered. As for persons of Group B, the law established a special registration procedure in the record books of births of foreigners, applicable to those born in the Dominican Republic but who were never registered in the Dominican civil registry, enabling them to subsequently apply to the regularization of their status as migrants, and, after two years, authorizing them to apply for Dominican citizenship through regular naturalization procedure. Moreover, people born between April 18, 2007 and January 26, 2010 were not sheltered within the scope of the law. According to information provided by the Dominican government, in late May 2015, a figure higher than 53,000 persons belonging to Group A had their records validated. Consequently, as expressed by the State itself, these people and their descendants will have their Dominican nationality restored and their Dominican identity documents must be issued pursuant to the provisions of Law 169-14. At the date of approval of this report, the process of delivery of documents to these people was only starting, but there were already complaints reported by some people regarding barriers in the delivery of their documents by the authorities of the Civil Registry. In this regard, the Commission considers that the State must ensure that the delivery of identity documents to these people is done without any discrimination and avoiding any kind of arbitrariness and administrative obstacles, so that these people can exercise the multiple rights associated to the right to nationality and juridical personality. With respect to Group B, that is, the children of foreign parents in an irregular migratory situation, who having been born in the Dominican territory were not registered in the Dominican Civil Registry, the State has reported that 8,755 people applied for registration in the book foreigners within 180 days they had to register, which expired on 1 February 2015. The Commission notes that according to the National Immigration Survey of 2012, it was estimated that over 53,000 people were born in the Dominican Republic of foreign parents, and who were never registered Organization of American States | OAS
