Former Dominican ambassador to the United Nations, Jose Singer, who sat on the UN Security Council, shared with Diario Libre a short list of recommendations on what the Dominican Republic can do now that the international community seems to be washing its hands of the situation in Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He writes:
\u201cOur country is at a great crossroads in the face of the events in Haiti. No matter how many times we have forecast in international forums what would happen in Haiti if the international community did not act and look for a formula to help, it [the international community] has not shown real interest to date. Many columnists and – unfortunately – even former ambassadors write about the solution to Haiti’s problems without taking into consideration international law, proposing solutions that the international community will never accept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn view of this reality described in the previous paragraph, my suggestions are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The Dominican Republic should keep the border sealed as it has been. Our military leaders should imbue a strong dose of patriotism to the soldiers who protect our border and not be tempted with money to let illegals pass;<\/li>
  2. The government must urgently install a biometric capture system for the primary purpose of identifying those entering the country;<\/li>
  3. The Ministry of Labor, the Migration Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Relations should work together to provide ‘temporary work permits’ to foreigners;<\/li>
  4. It should be easy to provide this document when a businessman, engineers or any economic activity requires it; the cycle is completed with the authorities returning to their country all those who are not documented.\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Singer acknowledges that many of his recommendations are already happening or in the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On 10 November 2021, the Ministry of Interior & Police in the Dominican Republic said that the registration of Haitians living in the country will include the taking of facial and digital imprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
