The legal advisor to the Executive Branch, Guido Gomez Mazara said that it is true that in the DR human rights are violated. He said these are not part of a state policy, though. He said they are not the result of an express decision of the Executive Branch to mistreat, violate or abuse relations with the community, such as he explained would also be true of the United States, where violations also occur. He said that the government accepts the report and commits to work to improve respect for human dignity. For more on the report, see http://www.dr1.com/daily/news022801.shtml
