Luis Abinader’s second term as president of the Dominican Republic holds the crucial responsibility of championing human rights amid a backdrop of concerning migration policies that have emerged during his first term. As the nation grapples with a surge of deportations, racial profiling, and systemic discrimination against Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent, the call for an urgent reform resounds. To redeem the region’s ethical stance, the government must pivot towards a migration policy steeped in dignity and respect, ensuring safety, health, and the foundational human rights of all individuals, particularly the most vulnerable such as children and pregnant women. Only with unwavering commitment to justice and equality can Abinader’s administration shake off the shadows of previous human rights violations, fostering a legacy that honors humanity’s intrinsic value across racial lines.
