PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (WINN) -- The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has again been harshly criticized by Port of Spain-based academic Professor Norman Girvan, over the Dominican Republic citizenship matter.
Girvan expressed disappointment that a CARICOM Bureau meeting scheduled for Tuesday, which was to have discussed the matter, has been postponed without a new date being announced. The regional grouping has expressed some concern about the September 23 constitutional court ruling in Santo Domingo that strips tens of thousands of Dominicans of Haitian descent of their citizenship.
