The
Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis
Almagro, today recommended the establishment of mechanisms of dialogue
between the Dominican Republic and Haiti to resolve the situation in the
border zone between the two countries, beginning with a meeting between
the two sides.
In addition, the OAS leader proposed seeking mechanisms to help
the displaced persons, especially the most vulnerable. In particular,
Secretary General Almagro proposed that the OAS facilitate the dialogue
and that it support the processes of registration of migrants underway
through the Universal Civil Identity Project of the Americas (PUICA).
The five recommendations in the report are:
1. Facilitate a dialogue between the two countries, including the
organization of a meeting between the two countries in the most
appropriate location accepted by both sides.
2. That the OAS facilitate a dialogue between the two countries, to find paths of solution to the present difficulties.
3. Establish a mechanism of understanding, in the framework of
international standards, that allows for the transfer of people between
the two countries.
4.Use the good offices of the OAS to strengthen the processes of
registration underway, in particular in the support for the Programme
d’Identification et de Documentation des Immigrants Haitiens through the
Universal Civil Identity Project of the Americas – or “PUICA” OF the
OAS.
5.Request that the national authorities and the international
community seek mechanisms to help the displaced persons, in particular
the most vulnerable.
Secretary General Almagro presented the report to the member
states in the Permanent Council of the OAS. The report, compiled on the
basis of the observations of the OAS Mission to the two countries from
July 9 to 14 headed by the Secretary for Political Affairs, Francisco
Guerrero, was sent yesterday to the governments of the Dominican
Republic and Haiti simultaneously.
