Human Rights and Forest Management in the 1990s

This report documents a pattern of human rights abuse in the 1990s on government-administered forest lands in the Philippines. It examines areas where military operations, the collusion of private interests and government officials, or a combination of the two have led to broad and overlapping categories of human rights violations, including those associated with disputes over indigenous or ancestral land, those associated with challenges to illegal logging, and those related to counterinsurgency operations.
