It claims to be the continuation of the international organizations of communist parties of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the International Workingmen's Association and Comintern. It adheres to the ideas of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Enver Hoxha, organizing on the principles of anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism.^[1]

The Conference was founded in Quito, Ecuador in 1994 and adopted A Communist Declaration to the Workers and Peoples of the World. During its XXII plenary meeting it adopted International Platform: on Capitalism, the Working Class and the Fight for Communism.
