parties in conflict

In a conflict, the "parties" are the individuals, groups, or organizations involved, each with their own interests, perspectives, and goals. They are the entities engaging directly or indirectly in a disagreement or dispute. Understanding who the parties are helps clarify the dynamics, as their positions, motivations, and relationships influence how the conflict develops and how it can be resolved. Recognizing the parties involved is essential for effective communication, negotiation, and finding mutually acceptable solutions.
