This 2017 press release explains the IACHR's response to the Dominican Republic’s (DR) willingness to address the nationality-related issues which hinder the full enjoyment of human rights, especially in relation to discrimination towards persons of Haitian descent, a situation which has resulted in the statelessness of approximately 100,000 people. During the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), the IACHR held a bilateral meeting with a delegation of the DR during which representatives of the State agreed on a working visit by the IACHR to the Dominican Republic.
