2 d) "expulsions" are made through collective raids, without any legal procedure to adequately identify the nationality of "expelled" people, nor their migratory status nor their family ties; they are simply separated from their homes, without warning, without letting them take their belongings. Migration authorities select people to be deported on the basis of the color of their skin; e) petitioners estimate that over 20,000 individuals were "expelled or deported" during November 1999. Dominican authorities use excessive force to make sure the alleged victims obey their orders, including sexual abuse of women; children suffer psychological damage, fear prevents them from leaving their homes, women of "deported" men have to survive without anything; f) on December 3, 1999, the Governments of Haiti and the Dominican Republic signed an agreement by which the latter bound itself to notify Haitian authorities about any act of deportation of a Haitian national, an agreement that, according to petitioners, has not been complied with by the State; and g) the practice of "deportations" and "expulsions" affects two groups: both legal and illegal Haitian and Haitian-origin Dominican workers residing in the Dominican territory; and, based on the above, it petitioned the Court to […] adopt the provisional measures for the State to…suspend mass expulsionsdeportations imposed on Haitians and Haitian-origin Dominicans by Dominican authorities, because they risk the life and physical integrity of deported people, as well as their separated relatives, particularly children under age who are left abandoned [;] […] adopt the provisional measures for the State to establish procedures for the discernment of cases where deportation is not appropriate from those where it is fit. In the case it is proper to expel or deport people who are in Dominican territory, requirements of the due process should be fully met, including minimum period of notice, access to family members, adequate hearings, and decisions legally adopted by competent authorities. In any case, deportations shall be done individually, not en masse. 3.
