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 (Bloque Democratico Popular/Peru, Partido Marxista Leninista del Perú, Partido Socialista Revolucionario/Peru, and Partido Comunista (Marxista Leninista)/Dominican Republic) and four participating remotely (Organización Apoyante del Partido Comunista de México, Partido Comunista de Colombia – Maoista,  Partido Comunista Revolucionario del Uruguay, and the Partido Comunista Paraguayo (independiente)).

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 (a front organisation of the Gonzaloists - eds) 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.
