The Foreign Minister said that “The situation is chaotic, we know it and we experience it firsthand here because it overflows our border.”
Nevertheless, Robert Alvarez understands the complications involved in sending an armed mission.
“You have to understand that a country has to think carefully about sending its troops to another country. In what sense? You have to negotiate with a series of terms, for example, what can be the criminal responsibility of the soldiers of a country in a given moment that they enter into conflict, that is, that the laws of war or crimes against humanity are violated, etc. “plot.
These are the obstacles that have delayed the determination of the countries, but all of this has to be negotiated, according to Álvarez. He stated that “this has to be done and Dominican diplomacy is pressing in that direction.”
He warned that the Dominican Republic cannot participate in sending troops because, being a neighboring country, it would cause more problems than it could solve.
The Chancellor pointed out that the Government’s monitoring of the events that occur on the other side of the border is continuous, and that is why he has not gone to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to a meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Community of States Latin American and Caribbean (CELAC).
