The local representative of the UN Development Program (UNPD), Niky
Fabiancic, and the Executive Director of the Fundacion
Institucionalidad y Justicia (FINJUS), Servio Tulio Castanos, denied
that the DR is a “failed State” and said it was a barbarism for US
magazine Foreign Policy to include it in a list of 20 countries under
this category. The magazine states that the first annual Failed
States Index indicate that two billion people around the world in
vulnerable and insecure states. According to the Foreign Policy, a
failed state “may be subject to involuntary restrictions of its
sovereignty, such as political or economic sanctions, the presence of
foreign military forces on its soil, or other military constraints,
such as a no-fly zone”. For more information visit:
