THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: GENERAL INFORMATION

Geography
The Dominican Republic occupies two thirds of the island of Hispaniola. Its geographical location -between Cuba and Puerto Rico -has turned it into one of the main tourist attractions in the Caribbean and an ideal place for investment and commercial exchange. It is politically divided into a National District that includes the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo de Guzm n, and 29 provinces. The provinces are subdivided into counties.

The territory of the Dominican Republic is fertile, humid, and mountainous. Close to 80% of the country is covered by a great chain of mountains that extends in a north-south direction and among which Pico Duarte (3.175 m) is the highest mountain in the country and in the Antilles. The coastline of the Dominican Republic (approximately 1.633 km long) is irregular due to numerous bays that form natural ports, among which The Bay of Calderas, in the south, and The Bay of Samana, in the northeast, stand out the most.

Climate
The predominating climate in the island is semitropical. In the lowlands the temperatures rise above 73øF during the whole year. During the summer, the temperatures fluctuate between 80øF and 91øF. The highlands are considerably colder.

The main natural resources in the Dominican Republic are agricultural. The fertile soil of the valleys is very appropriate for growing crops and many of the slopes of the mountains are covered by forests. The country also has valuable deposits of nickel, gold and silver.

Population
About 7.8 million people live in the Dominican Republic. Of those, 60.5% live in urban areas and the remaining 39.5% reside in the countryside. The population growth rate for the period 1990-1995 was 1.9% per year.

The majority of the population of the Dominican Republic descends from a blend between Indians, Spaniards and Africans.


RIGHTS OF FOREIGNERS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Under the Constitution of the Dominican Republic, the main purpose of the government is to protect human rights and the general well being of the population, while maintaining a system of individual freedom and social justice compatible with public order.

Toward that end, the constitution recognizes certain rights for the country's citizens _ and for citizens of other countries who are in the Dominican Republic _ such as:

a.

the inviolability of life

b.

individual safety;

c.

the inviolability of the home, which means among other things that the police may search no home except as specifically permitted by law and after following the procedures prescribed by law;

d.

the right to travel, subject to limited restrictions such as those contained in the health, police, and immigration laws;

e.

freedom of action, including the freedom generally to be free from being required to take any actions that the law does not require and from being prohibited from taking any actions that the law does not prohibit;

f.

freedom of speech, to the extent that people are permitted to freely express their thoughts in writing or otherwise without the need for prior government approval;

g.

freedom to associate for any economic, social, cultural, or other purpose except as may be prohibited by reason of national security or for reasons relating to the public order;

h.

freedom of religion;

i.

the right to privacy, including with respect to correspondence, private documents, and telephonic, telegraphic, and cablegram communications;

j.

freedom to work, including the freedom to organize labor unions and a right to strike under certain conditions;

k.

freedom of enterprise, commerce, and industry, although monopolies are only allowed for the benefit of the state or government institutions;

l.

protection of private property, which may not be taken away by the government from any person except in cases of social interest and justified public utility _ not political purposes _ and on payment of fair value as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction;

m.

the protection for a fixed period of time of rights in inventions, discoveries, and scientific, artistic, and literary productions;

n.

the protection of the family for the purpose of strengthening its moral, religious, and cultural life, including:

i

protection of pregnant women;

ii

the adoption of health and hygiene measures to limit infant mortality and promote the healthy growth and development of children;

iii

encouragement of home ownership and family savings through the establishment of credit unions, consumer unions, and distribution and production cooperatives; and

iv

full legal rights for married women, including the right to own property.

o.

freedom of education and elimination of illiteracy, including a mandatory primary education provided at no cost by the government for all inhabitants of the Dominican Republic and higher education provided by vocational, trade, artistic, economic, craft, and agricultural schools;

p.

encouragement of a social security system for the elderly and a social assistance program consisting of clothing, food, health care, and housing for the poor to the extent possible.
