1. (SBU) In response to Reftel A, Post has contacted several
NGOs working in the country to determine if they will be
participating in the UN's Universal Periodic Review of Human
Rights for 2009. The Dominican Republic will be reviewed
during the sixth session in late 2009, and submissions are
due before April 13th or 20th, 2009. All NGOs listed below
were provided with the anticipated deadlines for submissions,
the OHCHR website, and the email for submissions. The list
of NGO's and their responses follow:
MUDHA - Movimiento de Mujeres Dominico-Haitianas; was not
aware of the report or opportunity to provide input, but
following the information provided in Reftel A, they plan to
participate this year.
CRS - Catholic Relief Services; was not aware of the report
or opportunity to provide input. They are uncertain as to
whether they will provide input this year.

Open Society Justice Initiative; was aware of the report and
is determining whether they will be able to submit a report
of their own this year. They do plan, regardless, to provide
technical support to NGOs who seek their help in submitting
reports, and recently sent out information about the report
to their network of NGOs.
