Vassilena Gashparova, the Senior Conflict Resolution Officer and Ombudsman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, is the author of an article in yesterday's UN Today. She offers her view on the anatomy of conflict, its hidden causes and complex realities. Gashparova considers five key forces as identified by Bernard Mayer which are central to conflict dynamics:
- Communication as a source of conflict
- The role of emotions
- Values and their impact
- Structural challenges
- The influence of history
