This chapter focuses on civilian vigilante groups, known as Civilian Volunteer Organisations
(CVOs), that are being used as private armies by local politicians and powerful traditional leaders
in Maguindanao province, Philippines. The report is divided into three parts. Part One gives a
contextualised summary of these groups. Part Two takes a closer look at the human face of this
phenomenon, with profiles of individuals involved. Part Three examines possible solutions to
the problem, with an evaluation of relevant social programmes and policies. A full-length version
of the report summarised in this chapter can be found at www.coav.org.br.
