Land is fundamental to human rights — from food and shelter to dignity and security — yet across Asia, persistent land and resource conflicts driven by historical injustices, weak governance, and unequal access continue to displace communities, undermine livelihoods, and deepen poverty, especially among smallholder farmers and indigenous peoples. Intensified by climate change, urbanization, and large-scale land investments, these conflicts often lead to serious human rights violations. ANGOC and Land Watch Asia use a structured monitoring framework — analyzing cases, relationships, and incidents — to generate evidence that informs policy and advocacy toward transparent land governance, effective tenure reforms, timely conflict resolution, and stronger monitoring systems.
