Report on the 6th ICOR America Conference, Peru 2026
From October 16–18, the 6th ICOR America Continental Conference was held in Lima, Peru, with the participation of eight delegations: four in person (Popular Democratic Bloc/Peru, Marxist-Leninist Communist Party/Peru, Revolutionary Socialist Party/Peru, and Marxist-Leninist Communist Party/Dominican Republic) and four participating remotely (Organization of Supporters of the Communist Party of Mexico, Maoist Communist Party of Colombia, Revolutionary Socialist Party of Uruguay, and the People’s Communist Party of Paraguay).
Throughout the event, camaraderie and enthusiasm prevailed among the comrades from the various delegations, marking its successful conclusion.
After the agenda and internal regulations were approved, the discussion of the reports began, starting with the continental report and the financial statements from the organizing committee, as well as reports from the country delegations, including the external delegations.
It is worth noting that these reports contain very interesting data that reveal the bitter reality in which our Latin American countries live—characterized by poverty, unsanitary conditions, poor-quality education, high unemployment rates, police repression, and widespread neglect by their governments, in addition to the siege, constant interference, and interventionism of U.S. imperialism.
Regarding fascism and imperialism, the conference agreed that fascism as such does not exist in Latin America, but rather a strong tendency toward it, which calls on us to remain vigilant to prevent its establishment; similarly, it was clarified that U.S. imperialism is the main enemy of world peace and that China, Russia, and the European Union are competing imperialist forces.
Three new items were added to the initially proposed agenda: Problems and progress in party-building and youth work; financial work in Latin America; and the membership applications from the Brazilian Communist League and MOVADEF.
Regarding party-building, there was consensus that we must devote greater effort to the political organization of workers, the political education of our cadres, expanding our ties with the masses and their organizations, and dedicating special attention to youth work to ensure generational renewal.
Similarly, there was consensus regarding the financial issue, as we believe that Latin America possesses economic potential capable of making us self-sufficient in this area. We have a range of products that could prove attractive in European markets, particularly in Germany—with which we have the most contact—and where People to People (a company affiliated with the MLPD) would play a key role in facilitating these exchanges. In addition, we have significant tourist attractions: beaches, mountains, historical monuments, and other sites of interest.
Regarding membership applications, the application from the Brazilian Communist League was unanimously approved, and the application from MOVADEF was unanimously rejected.
Comrade Monika Gartner, ICOR’s chief coordinator, presented an interesting report on the development of the ICOR, including its finances, which was unanimously approved.
The conference approved, among its future initiatives, the organization of seminar-style debates on the most controversial issues within ICOR, such as whether certain nations are imperialist or not.
It was also approved to hold a continental women’s conference, to be hosted in Peru, in preparation for the world conference to be held in Cameroon, Africa, in November 2027.
Furthermore, the conference approved the posting of the delegations’ reports on the ICOR website; the publication of a newsletter; the organization of events on days designated by ICOR as global days of action (International Women’s Day, May Day, International Day Against War, and Environment Day); and the establishment of training programs for women.
Resolutions:
One of the most debated topics was that of the resolutions, which were significantly enriched by the suggested amendments and modifications. In total, ten resolutions were approved, which will be published on our website and disseminated through each delegation.
It is worth highlighting the commendable activism demonstrated by the external delegations—specifically those from Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay—both before and throughout the conference. We extend our thanks and congratulations to them.
Elections:
The election of candidates for the positions of coordinator, treasurer, and auditor was another issue that underscored the spirit of unity prevailing within ICOR America.
Results:
- Jovino Núñez (PCML/D.R.), re-elected as coordinator.
- Víctor Oliva (PSR/Peru), new alternate coordinator.
- Diana (PCM Supporters’ Organization/Mexico) and Cristy (BPD/Peru), Supporters’ coordinators.
- Eusebio Martel (BPD/Peru) was re-elected as treasurer.
- Carmelo (PSR/Peru) was elected auditor.
The members of this leadership team briefly addressed the conference participants, thanking them for their support.
Monika Gartner, principal coordinator of ICOR, congratulated the conference on its success and urged redoubled efforts across the continent to address the major challenges we face.
Jovino Núñez, coordinator of ICOR America, closed the event by highlighting the achievements made there and the importance of the conference for the immediate future, with a view toward organizational development throughout the Americas.
Subsequently, a public event was held to present the main conclusions drawn from this 6th ICOR America Conference.
Finally, the supplementary sessions concluded with an important women’s meeting, during which the participants agreed to hold a national—and, if possible, a continental—women’s conference in Peru in preparation for the world conference in Cameroon in November 2027. The coordinators will work in close collaboration with ICOR, as agreed upon, particularly with Jovino.
Resolutions
Resolution on Party Building and the Strengthening of ICOR
Intensify party building, youth work, and strengthen ICOR America
Whereas,
- imperialism exists only in crisis and cannot solve a single problem facing humanity;
- that unequal development, as a law of capitalism, has heralded the decline of U.S. imperialism, making it all the more aggressive;
- that other imperialist forces, led by China, but also the EU and Russia, seek to capitalize on this;
- that the European Union, and in particular German imperialism, is driving the warmongering policy of U.S. imperialism (OAPCM);
- that the “solution” offered by the imperialist powers consists of fascism and war;
- that the working class and the broad masses of the world no longer want to live this way, but that much confusion still reigns because anti-communism blocks the path to socialism;
- that we must come to terms with the disappointment regarding the “progressive governments,” because in reality they did not represent any socialist alternative;
- that struggles by the working class and the broad masses are on the rise worldwide, as is the search for a social alternative, just as recognition of revolutionaries and interest in socialism are growing,
we affirm:
We must give top priority to party-building, revolutionary work among the youth, and the strengthening of ICOR America!
- No activity without strengthening party-building!
- Let us win over the working class as the leading force and strengthen the struggles of the broad masses;
- Win over the youth through the global socialist youth movement!
- Educate rebellious young people so that they become selfless fighters for the future and a strong reserve for generational change in our parties!
- Carry out active work on alliances and the united front, in which party-building remains the leading factor;
- Promote a combative women’s movement
- Carry out all work as members of ICOR and thus in the spirit of proletarian internationalism!
- Invest more time in international work!
Make ICOR America an asset to the entire ICOR:
- Cooperate closely in the coordination of the Americas,
- Take responsibility and initiative for joint work,
- Forge bonds with other organizations on the continent,
- Actively contribute to ICOR resolutions,
- Actively participate in ICOR days of struggle and report on them;
- submit your monthly contributions to the ICOR website,
- work actively on our solidarity project with Palestine—the construction of the Al-Awda Hospital;
- draw on your creativity and energy to strengthen our financial resources.
Only together are we strong and can we become a force greater than imperialism!
Resolution on Revolutionary Unity Against Imperialism and Zionism
Against Imperialism and Zionism: Unity Among Revolutionaries in Latin America and Around the World
ICOR America celebrates the popular uprisings taking place in the region in response to the interventionist policies of U.S. imperialism. This imperialist aggression—characterized by the rise of pro-U.S. fascist governments, supported not only by the United States but also directly by Israel—represents an imperialist and Zionist onslaught in the region, against which we revolutionaries must take a stand and play a historic leadership role among the popular masses who share our outrage and are willing to defend the sovereignty, independence, and self-determination of the peoples.
Fascist, Zionist, or pro-Zionist rulers—characterized by anti-rights, anti-popular, aporophobic, and repressive rhetoric—are today aligning themselves with U.S. imperialism’s hemispheric security strategy, the “Shield of the Americas,” kowtowing to Trump, Rubio, Hegset, and Netanyahu, agreeing to repressive laws under the pretext of combating terrorism—to criminalize popular protest, persecute individuals and organizations for their ideas, and increase imprisonment and political persecution. Their statements of support for Israel—visiting its territory to relocate national embassies on Israeli soil, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem—are no trivial matter, when the entire world is mobilizing in rejection of the genocide facing the Palestinian people.
Opposing imperialism and Zionism—by defending territories and the continued existence of indigenous peoples; by safeguarding the livelihoods and strategic resources of each country; and, of course, by ensuring the survival of the people’s organizations that fight for better living conditions and of those of us who struggle for revolution against capitalism and all systems of oppression—is the primary task of this period.
Resolution on U.S. Imperialism
U.S. Imperialism: Enemy of World Peace
The International Coordination of Revolutionary Organizations and Parties (ICOR) maintains that sovereignty, the self-determination of peoples, and international peace constitute the fundamental pillars for harmonious coexistence among nations.
Without a doubt, this vision is the most correct, since the signatory countries adopted it in order to prevent further conflicts in the world following the atrocities of World War I and World War II, which resulted in the destruction of entire peoples, millions of deaths, and civilian populations devastated and razed by the weapons of war possessed by every country.
These proposals for peace among nations and respect for their sovereignty have, over time, become something that U.S. imperialism neither respects nor cares about when it comes to achieving its goals of subjugating the weakest countries—both militarily and economically—as well as nations rich in natural resources, especially oil, gold, rare earth elements, natural gas, and other natural wealth. That is why the countries that possess these resources become the primary victims of the imperialist rulers of the United States of America—such as Venezuela, Iraq, Libya, and, most recently, Iran.
For these and other reasons, we reject the criminal conduct of U.S. imperialism—predatory and aimed at subjugating nations to its expansionist ends and objectives—which has been carried out over the past decades and has become common practice. This conduct is widely opposed around the world and has been condemned in various United Nations General Assemblies.
For these and other reasons—including violations of the sovereignty of peoples through military and economic interventions, as in the case of Cuba—
We, as ICOR America, reject and demand that U.S. imperialism cease its conduct of instigating wars and armed conflicts, which only bring poverty and misery to the nations invaded by the most militarily powerful country on the planet!
Second Resolution on U.S. Imperialism
The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are suffering a major offensive by Yankee imperialism, which—as its hegemony wanes in the face of the rise of Chinese imperialism, which is already challenging it in various arenas within a multipolar world—has established its “National Security Strategy,” an update of the Monroe Doctrine with the “corollary” added by the fascist Trump.
Building on this, in January of this year they invaded Venezuela and kidnapped President Maduro and his wife, killing military personnel and civilians in the process, and moved on to direct intervention through an agreement imposed on the government headed by Delcy Rodríguez, through which they now control the country’s oil production and finances.
They have taken the blockade against Cuba to extremes, causing an extremely severe energy and humanitarian crisis.
They create the “Shield of the Americas” with 16 countries governed by the right and the far right, supposedly to combat drug trafficking, but which is actually a repressive instrument of international coordination—a sort of “Plan Condor 2”—followed by a “Summit Against Terrorism,” primarily targeting the “far left.”
Together with their ally, the Zionist state of Israel—which is carrying out genocide in Gaza, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and with which they are waging war against Iran—they also support the continent’s far right with large sums of money, technology, and all kinds of political and economic pressure.
In this way, far-right governments led by Milei, Kast, Fujimorti, Bukele, Noboa, Paz, De La Espriella, and others are being installed, and they are backing Bolsonaro Jr. in the October 25 elections. Through this policy, they seek to counter China’s advance in trade, investment, and political and military influence, and to secure control over the continent’s strategic raw materials.
In the face of this desperate offensive by Yankee imperialism and the advance of the far right and fascism in our countries, ICOR-America calls for a redoubling of internationalist solidarity, workers’ and popular struggles, and organizational work, in order to confront this offensive with greater force, defeat it, and advance along the revolutionary, anti-imperialist, and anti-oligarchic path toward socialism in our countries.
Resolution on Chile
Declaration in Support of the Just Struggles of the Chilean Youth Movement
ICOR America expresses its full support for the uprisings of Chilean youth against the fascist Kast regime, which is launching a brutal assault on the people’s rights, including the dismantling of funding for public education.
Kast’s privatization policy revives the reasons behind the 2018 student uprising, which gave way to a popular uprising that led to a progressive government that was unable to steer the country toward the deepening of democracy and toward socialism.
As a result of Boric’s political inability—which prevented him from breaking free from the dictates of U.S. imperialism or securing a parliamentary majority to implement the reforms demanded by the people who elected him—we are witnessing the return of the heirs to Pinochet’s fascist dictatorship, led by José Antonio Kast.
“We condemn the passage of ‘anti-terrorism’ laws, which seek to criminalize social protest, increasing imprisonment and political persecution.
We salute the struggle of the Chilean social and popular movement in defense of democracy and against fascism and Zionism—a struggle directly linked to the great upsurge of youth activism around the world.
The popular uprisings we are witnessing from Colombia to Argentina, against the national and hemispheric security strategy of U.S. imperialism, are the seeds of a period of struggle among the peoples of Latin America against imperialism and Zionism.
Resolution on Haiti
Solidarity with the Haitian People
The International Coordination of Revolutionary Organizations and Parties (ICOR) holds the United States, France, and Canada responsible for the political, economic, and social disaster facing the Haitian people.
The dire situation there is the result of the historical plundering by these powers and their collusion with those who have misgoverned the country for centuries.
Millions of Haitians are forced to flee their country to escape hunger, police repression, and the gangs operating there, which have taken control of the major urban centers in recent years.
ICOR America believes that the solution to Haiti’s problems lies in the hands of the people themselves, led by their representative organizations, whose leaders are forced to operate outside their country and whose organizations are forced to operate underground.
Finally, we call on the entire revolutionary, democratic, and anti-imperialist movement in Latin America and around the world to stand in solidarity with the brotherly people of Haiti.
The Haitian people are not alone—long live the unity of all the peoples of the world!
Resolution on Venezuela
Solidarity with the Bolivarian people of Venezuela in the struggle for national sovereignty and against the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro. Yankees out. The struggle continues.
The organizations, social sectors, and popular movements of the International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations of Latin America and the Continent (ICOR America), in light of the situation and serious events that have taken place in Venezuela, both before and since January 3, 2026
Whereas:
That the aggression against the people of Venezuela is an aggression against all Latin American peoples, against the Latin American homeland, which shares common, related, or interrelated histories, characteristics, and aspirations. With a tradition of continentalist struggle that, after centuries of struggle, gave rise to an independence which—though still in the process of development—must be defended as one of the most sacred legacies, duties, and rights of our peoples, heroes, and families.
That the events unfolding in Venezuela since January 3,
2026, represent the gravest situation that could befall us. After several years of imperialist aggression—primarily from the United States—including economic and maritime blockades, the unpunished murders of seafarers and fishermen, and the seizure, freezing, and expropriation of their assets held in various banks across European countries and their subordinate entities; a campaign of slander, defamation, and pretexts to justify what imperialism is shamelessly carrying out—it gloats and confesses to it.
In the face of the U.S. invasion—including the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Congresswoman Cilia Flores; the murder of hundreds of Venezuelans and Latin Americans; the seizure of their oil, gold, and other natural resources; and the humiliation of their national dignity—
Therefore, this becomes the primary issue: the National Problem—the invasion of Venezuela’s national sovereignty and that of the Latin American homeland—along with the violation of international law and national dignity, among other serious implications and consequences.
This also constitutes yet another demonstration of the advance of the Monroe/Donroe Doctrine and of U.S. imperialist aggression and greed—along with its voracious monopolies—as well as the advance of fascistization and its plans, not only in what it considers its “backyard” or “Western Hemisphere,” but also in what is happening and threatening various parts of the world.
As events and the response of the Venezuelan people are still unfolding.
Resolves:
-To express our fullest solidarity with the people of Venezuela, and to express our confidence that the Venezuelan people will continue to resist and struggle until they once again achieve their new independence and complete their ongoing decolonization; that they will determine their own future; and that they will learn lessons from their own history in an independent, just, and sovereign manner, advancing toward their own socialism with the sword of Bolívar.
To call upon all the Venezuelan people, as well as the patriotic, revolutionary, and anti-imperialist sectors, to join forces, to resist in an organized manner,… and to continue the struggle they have been waging with increasing intensity. The time has come—or will come—to fight with Bolívar’s sword and by whatever means the people, in their sovereignty, decide.
We call on all the forces of the Latin American peoples, nations, and countries to continue expressing, in various ways, their solidarity with the Venezuelan and Latin American struggles and aspirations.
Resolution on the Women’s Movement
Strengthening the Women’s Movement
Many women are members of various political groups, but few hold leadership positions; therefore, we must promote the political education of women so that they can assume important roles within their organizations and play a leading role in the struggle. ICOR must work toward the comprehensive political education of our comrades so that they can prepare for and participate in an organized manner in the World Women’s Conference.
There is no revolutionary struggle without the presence of women.
Resolution on the Environment
The Consequences of the Climate Catastrophe
The International Coordination of Revolutionary Organizations and Parties (ICOR) asserts that the consequences of the climate catastrophe are affecting ecosystems, the economy, and society on a global scale, with particularly critical impacts in regions such as Peru and Latin America.
The rise in global temperatures has caused the average surface temperature of the Earth to increase by approximately 1.1 °C compared to pre-industrial levels, leading to more frequent and intense heat waves. Glacier Retreat and Water Crisis: In countries such as Peru, global warming is drastically accelerating the loss of glaciers in the Andes, jeopardizing the availability of freshwater for human consumption, hydroelectric power, and agriculture.
Rising sea levels: The melting of the polar ice caps and the thermal expansion of the oceans are raising sea levels, threatening coastal areas, beaches, and urban infrastructure. This primarily affects artisanal fishing, subsistence fishing, and industrial fishing—which are among the economic pillars of our country (Peru)—as well as the extraction of aquatic biological resources.
Consequently, biodiversity loss, species extinction, habitat changes, desertification, and wildfires are putting both terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna at risk.
The National Emergency Operations Center (COEN) reports that the most severe wave of forest fires this year—concentrated heavily between August, September, and so far in October—has affected and destroyed a total of approximately 13,000 hectares nationwide.
Mining exacerbates the climate crisis by releasing millions of metric tons of greenhouse gases and destroying carbon-absorbing ecosystems, while at the same time, the sector suffers the consequences of extreme weather events that paralyze its operations.
Extreme weather also takes a heavy toll on the sector’s infrastructure and viability:
- Water crisis and social conflict: Water shortages caused by severe droughts reduce the processing capacity of mining plants and exacerbate social conflicts with local farming communities over access to water.
- Flooding and tailings dam failures: Torrential rains and extreme storms saturate the soil and increase the risk of tailings dams (chemical waste reservoirs) overflowing or collapsing, causing major environmental disasters.
- Disruption of supply chains: Increased abnormal waves block export ports, while mudslides and floods destroy the roads and railways connecting mining sites to distribution points.
Globally, the wars waged by imperialist countries are directly linked to the climate catastrophe, generating direct and devastating consequences for the environment, as these conflicts massively accelerate global warming due to high carbon emissions, the destruction of ecosystems, and the disruption of international climate policies.
All these factors fuel the global ecological catastrophe.
From ICOR America
- We demand a transition to renewable energy to halt the financing of and dependence on fossil fuels, prioritizing a clean energy mix that does not destroy local environments;
- We call for the strict protection of carbon sinks, with the aim of severely penalizing illegal deforestation and informal mining that destroy essential forests and water sources;
- We call for the creation of a support fund for fishing companies when fishermen’s incomes fail due to El Niño.
Resolution on Political Prisoners
ICOR-America stands in solidarity with the families and the workers’ and popular organizations of the victims of state repression in nearly every country on our continent. In particular, we stand in solidarity with those killed by the armed forces and police during the popular uprisings that took place in various countries; with environmental defenders killed for defending their natural habitat and their families; with those persecuted and impoverished by lengthy legal proceedings; with political prisoners and prisoners of conscience for fighting for social change; with journalists killed for exposing corruption and the mafias of the ruling classes; and all those whose good name and honor have been tarnished simply for aspiring to an end to the exploitation of man by man under socialism.
