RESOLUTIONS
***
1)
The 3^rd conference of ISML calls for an open discussion towards the formation of:
a) a unitary single Marxist-Leninist party in each country from all the many different Marxist-Leninist groups and organisations;
b) a single international forum which can be the seed of a new communist international.

2)
ISML demande aux camarades des differents pays, de presenter a la troisieme conference de mettre par ecrit, pour publication dans la revue ISML, leur experience recente quant aux possibilites de creation d'un seul parti Marxiste-Leniniste dans leur pays, et quelle voie ils cuivent a ce propos. Les textes ne devraient depasser une certaine dimension maximum fixee par l'Editorial Board.

3)
The third conference of ISML recognises that "globalization", as driven by such capitalist agencies as huge capitalist monopoly combines, and the world bank, the IMF etc - is nothing more than the exacerbated stage of monopoly capitalist imperialism. This stage was identified by Lenin, and it was re-confirmed by Stalin as late as 1951, and 'globalization' ever deepens the crisis of capitalist over-production; and that "globalization" is responsible for an even greater ruination of the worlds toiling masses. Only the proletarian revolution led by the Marxist-Leninist vanguard party, leading the workers and supported by the peasantry and working masses of the world can overcome the root cause - which is capital. Only the democratic and socialist struggles of workers and other toilers against imperialism and the rule of capitalism, culminating in proletarian revolution in each of their own countries - can ensure the final liberation of the world's workers and peasants.
Down with imperialism and capitalism !
long live socialism!
Toward the socialist revolution in each country!

4)
The third conference of ISML condemns the actions of the Turkish fascist dictatorship in its bloodthirsty acts and murders against the political captives in Turkey and Kurdistan. The third conference especially condemns Turkish fascism over the most recent massacre of 10 revolutionary captives in Ankara central closed (Ulucanlar) prison on 26 September 1999.

5)
The third conference of ISML expresses its support of the heroic East Timorese people in their long and very difficult struggle against Indonesian invaders and their para-military puppets. The conference condemns the USA, British, Australian, and Canadian ruling classes, who are acting under the facade of the United Nations, and which Imperialisms, not withstanding that they have openly assisted in the genocide perpetrated in East Timor, now try to represent themselves as its saviors. We condemn the underlying machinations of the USA capitalists, who under the guise of "globalization" have supported and armed the regimes of Suharto, and Habibi. Both these regimes slaughtered communists, progressives and non-political peoples of Indonesia and East Timor.
Down with US imperialism and all its imperialist allies!

6)
The third conference of ISML expresses its support for the struggle of workers and toilers in Turkey for democracy and socialism; and of the Kurdish people for their national liberation. All of the basic questions facing the proletariat and peoples of Turkey, can and will be solved only through the overthrow of fascist dictatorship and the Turkish bourgeoisie (who are supported by US and western European imperialists) and the establishment of soviet power, i.e. the dictatorship of the proletariat.

7)
The third conference of ISML condemns the brutal repression of the Kosovan people by Serbian reaction; and supports their national aspirations, including their legitimate right to self determination up to and including secession. The conference also condemns the USA imperialists and their west European allies, who have wantonly bombed Yugoslavia, including Kosova, thus causing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes and thousands to be killed and wounded. The conference also supports the Albanian peoples who have suffered enormous deprivations and persecutions following the fall of socialism, which persecutions were and are led by US and EEC imperialism. The only solution to these problems for the peoples of Albania, Kosova, Serbia and all peoples of the Balkans, is the unity of the proletariat under a Marxist-Leninist vanguard party, that will guide its respective country to socialism!

Resolution re Mumia Ali Jamal. The working people of the world are subject everywhere to police brutality and terrorism of the bourgeois courts. One of the greatest and most powerful imperialist states that the world has even seen, is the United States of America. Despite its constitutional claims that every person is presumed innocent by the courts unless found guilty beyond any "reasonable doubt", this claim is not true. In this most racist state, the black person is presumed guilty until irrefutably proven otherwise. Even then she/he is usually found guilty. Mumia was convicted of murder on the flimsiest evidence that has been shown to have no factual basis. The testimony that convicted him has been found by independent observers, to be based on police intimidation and coercion of vulnerable under-privileged witnesses. Apart from the obvious substantial "reasonable doubt" of Mumia's guilt, he was denied any fair trial. Mumia was framed because he was "guilty" of not accepting police victimisation and discrimination. Why was this? Because he was fighting the blatant institutionalised racism of the capitalist state system of the USA. The jails of the USA are bursting with blacks who face daily the brunt of the capitalist state. They are at the bottom of the pile - they face the worst of the daily oppression laid on the working class of the USA. The marked bias of the so-called justice system (read "in-justice" system) can be measured by the well-known fact that for equivalent crimes - whites in the USA receive far lighter sentences than blacks, especially for serious crimes such as murder. This explains the gross disparity in the numbers of blacks condemned to death for murder in the States - far exceeding the whites so condemned. Leaving aside the matter that crimes of murder reflect the gross misery and exploitation of the workers as pointed out by Marx years ago, the disparity in sentences reflect the racism of the state. Only the organisation of the workers own party, organised on Marxist-Leninist lines - will be able to overcome these and all other manifestations of racism in the USA.
Black and white - unite and fight !
Release Mumia now !

The third conference of ISML notes with sadness the death of a leading comrade - Jack Shulman - of New York city. His death occurred on the first day of the conference. Comrade Shulman was a life-long comrade of the international working class and toiling masses. First as a young man, he was in the Abraham Lincoln brigade fighting in the Spanish civil war; then in the 1920's-1930's, he was a full time worker in the CPUSA organising in the deep south of the USA; then he worked in Shanghai as a foreign editor for "Renmin Ribao" during the years of the "cultural revolution"; he then established and organised the USA-Albania friendship association; his self-less work was recognised by Party of Labour of Albania in many ways, one of which was the decision to bury his wife in the martyr's hill in Tirana; then after the fall of socialism in the PSRA he became a co-founder and leading member of the Alliance Marxist-Leninist (North America), in which he continued his life long work to unite the streams of the communist movement of the world into a single anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist river. His last years were plagued by serious bad health, but he contributed to the struggle to the very end of his life. His work continues, as he would have wished.
