The lawyer explained that Taveras is not advisable to adopt a state policy that encourages the Syrian emigration for reasons of national security and the hiperpoblación of Hispaniola.

He said that the Dominican Republic is obliged to accept the Syrian citizens who request refuge in our territory, and who meet the conditions established by the International Convention governing the status of refugees, and which is a signatory.

He noted that Isis is not a regular army or a nation-state, but a group of theocratic foundations that is present in all parts of the world, a large Muslim community resides in Haiti and that "it is not excluded that eventually" could be occasional cell at least in Hispaniola. "

He noted that the mentioned declaration of war on the Islamic State by the Dominican government would be a violation of the Constitution of the Republic, Article 3, states that "the principle of non-intervention constitutes an invariable rule of Dominican international policy."
