ABOUT THE BI-NATIONAL CONFLICT OVER THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CANAL ON THE DOMINICAN-HAITIEN BORDER

The greatest challenge that this shared island, Santo Domingo, has, is the proper management of its natural resources, particularly water, says the author of this article, and add that the worst yoke of Haiti is not only the one of the criminal gangs that plague it, but that of so many Haitian nationals who have preferred to profit, rather than sincerely and responsibly assume the cause of their country.

The author states that "the current conflict over the construction in Haiti of a canal on the Masacre River without having respected the mandates of the Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Arbitration between both countries signed in 1929, and which has been alleged to have critical technical failures that entail risks of flooding derived of the height of the canal with respect to the riverbed, which motivated the decision to completely close the borders since September 15 by order of the President of the Dominican Republic, is a dispute that should set a precedent for the proper management of binational water resources, whose future looks bleak due to the effects of climate change."
