    Dominican Republic W/TPR/S/11 Page 1 I. THE ECONOMIC AND TRADE ENVIRONMENT (1) Major Features of the Economy1 1. The Dominican Republic is located in the eastern half of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (with Haiti on the western half). It has an area of 48,442 km2. In 1993, the population was around 7.5 million; population growth has declined to around 2 per cent in the 1990s from 2.7 per cent in the early 1970s. The urban population is increasing, amounting to 63 per cent of the total in 1993 (Table I.1). The Dominican Republic is endowed with different types of soil suitable for agriculture and is rich in minerals; its traditional production structure has been in agricultural goods such as sugar, coffee, cocoa, and tobacco and in the exploitation of minerals such as nickel, doré (a gold and silver alloy) and bauxite. The abundance of labour and the proximity to the United States have been important elements in the rapid growth of exports, mainly of clothing, from free zones (Chapter V(4)); furthermore, a buoyant tourist industry has developed around the many attractive beaches (Chapters V(5)).

Executive Summary Bahrain’s democratic reform process has come to a standstill since 2009, which marked the 10th anniversary of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s accession to power. The positive developments in civil and political liberties observed with the start of the reform process in 2002 have in recent years been counteracted by repressive state tactics in which freedoms of expression and assembly have suffered most.
