The other case involved the Dominican Republic in 1960-62, with economic action being imposed by the United States and the organization of American States in condemnation of Dominican participation in an attempt to assassinate President Betancourt of Venezuela. The real objective, however, was condemnation of the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic itself. In May 1961 Trujillo was assassinated, but apparently this was unconnected with the nomic sanctions, which were continued for six more months, until all members of the Trujillo family had left the country to ensure a real change in the regime.
