The Organization of American States (OAS) sent
this Thursday
a special mission to the Dominican Republic and Haiti in order to
gather information on the situation of Haitian migrants in the field
and, following its analysis, to prepare a report for the Secretary
General of the hemispheric institution, Luis Almagro.
The mission, headed by the OAS Secretary for Political Affairs,
the Mexican Francisco Guerrero, will initiate its work in Santo Domingo
this Friday and will end its activities in Haiti on
July 14.
Deployed at the invitation of the Dominican and Haitian
governments, the special mission of a technical and impartial nature is
guided, according to Guerrero, “by the will to build bridges between the
two countries in order to find a lasting solution to the dispute.”
During its visit to both countries, the mission will meet with
government officials, specialized agencies in charge of migrants’
registration, as well as migrants themselves and other actors involved
in the process.
Guerrero is accompanied by several civil identity experts of the OAS and support staff.
