Tribunal Constitucional de la República Dominicana

Decides what it means

The constitutional court created by article 184 of the 2010 Constitution, whose decisions are final and binding on every organ of the State. It publishes each judgment in full, including dissents, and also publishes an edition of the Constitution in force. TC/0168/13 - the judgment on birthright nationality that Ley 169-14 was passed in answer to - is published complete at 147 pages.

A court, which decides what an instrument means. Its answers bind, but only on the questions actually put to it.

Cannot be cited for

It decides cases; it does not make or consolidate statute law, and its edition of the Constitution is a publication rather than the authentic text, which is the gazette. Its judgment PDFs are served from a Microsoft blob host rather than from its own domain, so a watch keyed on the origin of its site URL will not match the addresses actually cited.
