IDK if that's specific to moral objectivity. The two parties may be subjectivist or relativist and still in conflict, both believing they are right when neither of them are...or.....they may be realists and they may both have a case. Hell, we don't even need two parties. A person may be in internal conflict between what is true and what is in their best interests, between what is true and what society expects, or between two hard and antithetical truths. The latter in either case is called an exclusively sub-optimal decision field and represents the majority of our tough calls by any moral metrics.
Amusingly enough, the hypothetical abolitionist in this has made an implicit normative claim. That a thing is "bad" because it doesn't help or hinders conflict resolution. That we shouldn't be objectivists because of this. Some abolitionist.
