Introduction
The conflict between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) has lasted for over 35 years. It is regarded as the longest-running communist insurgency in Asia. The greatest victim of the conflict is the civilian population, with the death toll from the conflict now estimated to have crossed 40,000 people.
Since February 2004, the HD Centre has provided support to the Royal Norwegian Government (RNG) in its role as a third party facilitator to peace talks between the GRP and the National Democratic Front (NDF), which negotiates on behalf of the CPP and its military wing, the New People's Army (NPA).
