The United Nations Charter Of Human Rights

Haitians had decided to flee their home because of political persecution and poverty in Haiti. At first, immigrants from Haiti were thought to be drug smugglers. In the first days of immigrants rushing from Haiti, they were taken to Miami for naturalization before the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) took charge at the entry point (Dempsey, 2013).

The Haitian Declaration doesn’t mention much about rights of citizens other than the most basic of rights and that’s to be free. However the U.S. Declaration

The Republic of Haiti is in the western part of the island of Hispaniola in the West Indies. It is densely populated and has the lowest per capita income in the western hemisphere (Kemp, 2001). The population of more than seven million is made up of mostly descendents of African slaves brought to the West Indies by French colonists. The horrible conditions in Haiti, such as crushing poverty, unemployment and illiteracy, and high rates of acute and chronic illnesses and child and infant mortality, result in the illegal immigration of many Haitians to the United States, France, and other countries in Western Europe. Most immigrants are adults and teens who leave Haiti in tiny boats, despite the

This article discusses the history of immigration policies between the United States and Haiti and the consequences of these policies. On September 22, 2016 the Obama administration made the drastic decision to close its doors to Haitian migrants. The administration announced that it would tighten its immigration policy on Haitians, limiting the amount of refugees that would enter. Which was a drastic change from their 2010 immigration policy that open its doors to the Haitian refugees. This new policy affected many migrating Haitian who where just days from their immigration appointments. The article recalls personal experiences about the racism and the dangers Haitians face throughout the journey. Also describing the poor conditions immigrants

On September 23 of 2013, half a million of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic woke up to the unfortunate ruling made by the country’s Central Electoral Board. The ruling TC-168-13 called for the denationalization of Dominican born civilians if at least one of their parents are not a citizen of the nation. Because the highest population of immigrants living in the Dominican Republic are Haitians, this decision is hurting them the most. Now, these people are not able to attain governmental or legal papers, making daily transactions difficult to fulfill, receive medical attention,

One job Haitians were contracted to do almost 7 years ago was to help constuct a hospital in La Hainamosa, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. This is a major contradication seeing as how Dominican laws state that any even a 1/8th Haitian is not considered a Dominican so why allow Haitians to help on construction jobs? In more recent news, Haitians are attempting to immigrate to the Dominican Republic in hopes for a better life. February, 2015, a young man by the name of Henry “Tulile” Claude Jean was lynched in Santiago public square and the media’s depravity went on to claim that Haitians were behind his murder (EziliDanto).

When Americans think about the Dominican Republic, what often comes to mind are the expensive resorts and their white, sandy beaches. It does not occur to them that while they are enjoying their nice vacations, there are hundreds of thousands of stateless Haitian people barely surviving just a few miles away. What they also do not comprehend is how these four or five generations of Haitians have come to make their homes in the Dominican Republic. Because it is still an issue today, it is important for us to understand the history of how these present-day events came to be and the current living conditions of these stateless people.

In a important decision, the Dominican Republic's Constinutional Court in September 2013 stripped 210,000 people--most of whom are Dominicans born from parents of Haitian decant leaving them stateless. children born to undocumented Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic are not eligible for Dominican citizenship as of September 23, 2013 (Arbichold 2013). The court, permitted by law, made actions that the Dominican people in charge had already been making for the past 15 years - immediately and then in an organized way denying citinzenship to people of of Haitian people . The court ruled that a person born in the Dominivsn Republic to Haitian parents, was not Dominican. The court also ordered a scan of the civil registry to classify

Section 1: My great grandfather was a native resident of Haiti. He was alive during the very hostile period of persecution by the Dominican Republic. They were discriminated against solely because the Dominicans believed that Haitians were “blacker” than them because of their mostly African roots and felt they weren’t good enough to share the island of Hispaniola with. This racial tension between the two cultures is what led to the rift between the countries. This intense discrimination was also supported and reinforced by some government leaders at some points. In 1937, Rafael Trujillo, the president at that time, ordered the execution of every single Haitian person living on the Dominican-Haitian border. The total amount of deaths ranges from a low 547 to over 30,000 due to numerous firsthand accounts.

In writing my Research paper on "the Haitian immigration" had several fortresses, among these: I am Dominican, share half of the island with the Haitian brothers, I grew up always looking the Haitian themes and I am interested to publicize the because they migrate toward my cream Dominican Republic. I certainly think that the factors such as poverty, hunger, lack of employment, the lack of basic services as well as the problems in education are highly potential factors that would lead to any citizen to leave their homeland in search of better opportunities. It is impressed of many things that even State so close to them unaware, as for example living on less than $2 dollars per day, that they do their physiological bags needs and launch it

Currently in the Dominican Republic there is a flagrant case of human right violation regarding to Haitian immigrants and Dominican of Haitian decent. Being dark skinned in

Many Haitian people have been flocking to Canada from the U.S and staying in the Olympic Stadium of Montreal because their temporary residence may be revoked. Most of the people who have been relegated to the stadium are coming from Haiti. They came to the U.S in 2010 after a very devastating earthquake in Haiti which forced them to leave their homes. Their deportation chance is high now since they've lived in the U.S for 7 years. Although Montréal is welcoming the refugees with an open heart, there is a limit on how many people they can hold, and they are reaching that limit.

What about those that seek day and night to have a place to call home so they can raise their children in peace and security? Respected Members of the United Nations Human Rights Council, I want you to consider for a moment of how you would feel if your child had to live without a place to call home simply because the government denied them citizenship on no basis whatsoever. Such is the condition of the Haitians living in the Dominican Republic today. The Haitians have suffered a history of pain and disassociation merely because they are a minority and are refused citizenship. Let us not forget that human suffering does not have to be brutal torture; rather human suffering is when the body and mind are in a state of helplessness because of circumstances exerted upon them. Therefore, the Haitians ask for what belongs to them. They ask for the right to a place to call home which is what every human should be able to do. The courts of the Dominican Republic claim that they have the right to deny citizenship to ‘foreigners in transit” which means illegal immigrants and has now come to mean those of Haitian descent as

Haiti has long been known for its major export of Haitian migrants in search of a better way of life. It is an exodus that goes back several decades, however with recent times the numbers have increased dramatically. In fact, that numbers of Haitians fleeing Haiti in the early 1990's far exceeds the numbers recorded in earlier years. Between 1972- 1979, some 8,000- 10,000 Haitians arrived in the United States. Compare this number with the 14,443 Haitians interdicted between September 30, 1991 - January 1, 1992. By early 1994, this number totaled over 41,000 (Report on the Situation of Human Rights in Haiti, 1994). Economic deprivation has always been the predominant influence for the migrating of Haitians, yet in the

The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights stands as the current gold standard for every individual’s rights. Focusing on culture, one may see that cultural rights are not clearly defined and are oftentimes in conflict with other types of rights. In this paper, I will first discuss the United Nations’ use of ‘cultural’ in its universal human rights in relation to the concept of cultural relativism. Then, using South African and American practices, such as virginity testing and discriminatory criminal justice system respectively, I will describe and analyze practices violate the UN’s universal human rights in addition to the practices’ use for the community or society as a whole. Lastly, I will compare the American Anthropological Association’s rights to culture to the UN’s universal human rights by analyzing the limitations of each.
