Abstract
En la República Dominicana, el derecho a la nacionalidad de las personas nacidas en el país y de origen haitiano es tratado con discriminación. Por medio de una reinterpretación amplia de la expresión extranjeros "en tránsito", la Sentencia TC/0168/13 del Tribunal Constitucional privó arbitrariamente de su nacionalidad a numerosas personas de origen haitiano, la cual había sido adquirida por el principio del ius soli. El pretexto utilizado para llevar a cabo esta privación de la nacionalidad fue que los padres de las víctimas de dicha decisión no poseían un estatus migratorio legal. Considerada incompatible con las normas del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, esta decisión hace prevalecer la soberanía estatal sobre el derecho a la nacionalidad, lo cual ha provocado una crisis que difícilmente puede resolverse.
In the Dominican Republic, the right to nationality of individuals that are born in that country and that are of Haitian origin is treated with discrimination. By means of a large reinterpretation of the expression aliens "in transit", the Constitutional Court judgment in case TC/0168/13 deprived arbitrarily a great number of persons of Haitian origin from their nationality, that they acquired by the principle of ius soli. They did so just because their parents did not have a legal migratory status. Considered incompatible with the standards of the international human rights law, this decision makes prevail the state sovereignty over the right to nationality. As a result, it gave rise to a crisis that is very difficult to solve.
