On Sept. 23rd 2013, the Dominican Republic passed a ruling that violated human rights. The ruling will rob many Dominicans of their natural birth right. The Dominican government has literally turned it’s back on their most vulnerable citizens. Anyone that was born in D. R. of non-Dominican parents dating back to 1929 will have their citizenship revoked or they will not be granted Dominican citizenship.
Why is this important?
To protect human rights is to ensure that people receive some degree of decent, humane treatment. To violate the most basic human rights, on the other hand, is to deny individuals their fundamental moral entitlements.
