The Committee for Solidarity with Denationalized People has handed over a paper to the Chamber of Deputies for the drafting of a bill that recognizes Dominican nationality to all descendants of foreigners born in the country and registered by the Civil Registry between 21 June 1929 and 26 January 2010, when the new Constitution came into force.
The bill was delivered to the legislators by Father Mario Serrano, who argues that numerous articles in the Constitution allow these people to have Dominican nationality if they were born before 2010.
The document also mentions several conventions and international agreements on human rights to which the Dominican Republic is a signatory.
