The OAS mission looking into the migration situation between Haiti and the Dominican Republic will deliver a report before year-end.
The Dominican Republic is demanding that Haiti apologize for hurling strong comments at the Dominican government over its controversial immigration immigration policy, refusing to resume dialogue with Haiti until a formal apology is received, Prensa Latina reported Tuesday.
Dominican authorities have taken offense to comments made by Haitian President Michel Martelly and Foreign Minister Lener Renauld before the Organization of American States last week, when they condemned the Dominican Republic for treating Haitians inhumanely and urged the country to come to its senses.
Under no circumstances can we accept that the image of the Dominican Republic is affected, because we are a country that has morals, respect, and at the same time has exchanges with the international community, so we can not allow unfounded accusations devoid of legal basis against us, said Dominican Vice-Minister of the Presidency Luis Henry Molina, according to Prensa Latina.
