Abstract

Changes in resource entitlements can disrupt existing social relationships and intensify inequality. When this happens it can trigger or amplify conflict. The risk of conflict is higher when one group becomes privileged over another, or where existing inequities and inequalities are exacerbated. Mapping rights can help avoid increases in conflict dimensions, as such mapping increases the visibility of rights of communities, as well as within and among communities. Rights mapping can be used to avoid conflicts by supporting local and indigenous people and those involved in decision-making to actively guard against rights erosion that increase vulnerability.
