The Caracas Commitment was adopted by delegates to the International Encounter of Left Parties held in Caracas over November 19-21. The full document can be read here. It included a plan for action that, among other things, included to:
• Organise a global week of mobilisation from December 12-17 in opposition to the installation of US military bases in Colombia, Panama and around the world;
• promote the creation of "peace bases" to coordinate actions against interventionism and war sponsored by imperialism, and to struggle relentlessly for a world with no nuclear weapons, no weapons of mass destruction, no foreign military bases, no foreign interference, and no economic blockades;
• commemorate 100 years since the proposal by German revolutionary socialist Clara Zetkin to celebrate International Women's Day on March 8, through forums, mobilisations and other activities in their respective countries;
• discuss a public communication policy at an inter-regional level that aims to improve the media battle, and to convey the values of socialism among peoples;
• create an International Alternative Left-wing Media Coordination Office to build links among alternative media outlets, and websites of all of the progressive and left-wing parties and movements in the world, as a means to ensure permanent exchange and the development of an emancipating and alternative communication;
• organise global solidarity with the Bolivarian revolution in the face of permanent imperialist attacks;
• organise global solidarity with the people of Honduras who are resisting a US-backed military coup, to campaign for the restoration of the democratically elected president of Honduras, Jose Manuel Zelaya and to organise a global vigil on the day of the elections in Honduras, in rejection of the attempt "to legitimise the coup d'etat";
• demand an "immediate and unconditional end to the criminal Yankee blockade" of Cuba and for the "immediate liberation" of the Cuban Five, referring to the five anti-terrorist activists imprisoned in the US; and
• accompany the Haitian people in their struggle for the return of President Jean Bertrand Aristide "who was kidnapped and removed from his post as president of Haiti by North American imperialism".
