His reflections are part of a variety of studies covered in the so-called “Dialogue and Discussion Notes”, collected in Haitian Studies Unit (UEH) publications.
He sets out to base his method on this issue Five options could, in his opinion, be the “cure” for a problem peculiar to the Dominicans, If he considers that the best alternative to a sustainable solution to the question of the neighboring country is “that which his people build”, while on the other hand he is supported.

1- containment

In this variant, he explains, “The question is how to eradicate the aforementioned corruption Facilitates the arrival of migrants described as “wanted, but unwanted”, That is, the latter, “wanted, but not wanted.”
2- International aid
With regard to international aid, he proposes “to announce one claim in the media, in social networks and, above all, in secret meetings of notables: only the international community can and must help Haiti, since there is no solution in the Dominican Republic and in similar countries. For this poor crowd and immigrant.”
He adds that in this option, the message is “unique”, but ” mentioning the failure of the international community, Because they want to impose the role of the central state or the Haitian exodus buffer zone on the country.”
3- Individual initiatives
When taking up the issue of individual initiatives, in keeping with the solution to the Haiti issue, Ferrand stated that each does “something”, according to his means, “by untangling his arms convinced that even the little he can do will be more. Reach and contain the unstoppable for centuries…
He warns that “in this case, each individual has to be aware and willing to falsify something unprecedented to the extent of his or her own initiative.”
4- Get involved
When he reaches the point of intervention, he suggests “intervention in Haiti in good faith,” preferably not through evil, “for humanitarian reasons and/or for reasons of Dominican national insecurity or the level of subsequent exposure to the constitutional order.” Dominican coexistence and even Peaceful in the national territory due to the impact of the ongoing political upheaval, social unrest and the impoverishment of a large part of the unstoppable Haitian social bloc.
In such a context, he later asserts, “elective intervention seeks to induce, and who knows whether in extreme cases, to facilitate a civilized order more favorable to the interests of those affected.”
5- Pragmatism
Turning to the option of pragmatism, Fernando Ferran comments that, with regard to the four alternatives noted above, it is necessary to “move forward pragmatically”, but it is necessary to “select the best lessons in terms of what each individual can do and what to avoid and/or each government or a group of them at a time, at last, Facing favorably the case of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.”
Ferran concludes that “it emerges in this case that the interest and responsibility of each individual is the principle and basis of the well-being or discomfort of all.”
