DESCRIPTION:Dominican Judgment 168-13 retroactively revoked citizenship fo
 r over 200\,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent\, mainly from bateyes\, disr
 egarding jus soli to redefine them as foreigners. Law 169-14 further insti
 tutionalized this exclusion by categorizing individuals into groups with r
 estricted rights\, ensuring multi-generational statelessness and socioecon
 omic vulnerability. This presentation examines how citizenship is weaponiz
 ed as a tool of exclusion\, masking xenophobia under national sovereignty.
  By limiting access to healthcare and legal protections\, these laws legit
 imize discrimination and facilitate labor exploitation\, fundamentally alt
 ering the social and political landscape for this marginalized population.
