Eighty eight per cent of the conflicts between communities and companies in South Asia remain unsolved, a report by the Rights and Resources Institute has found. The figure was derived by analysing 51 such conflicts in Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The rate is one of the highest when compared to the rest of the world, and the global average for unresolved conflicts is 61 per cent. The report has compared global and local conflicts since 2001. Tenure disputes in Southeast Asia are also more likely to result in violence than in the rest of the world, with 47% of cases in the region resulting in violence and 18% causing fatalities.
