Our "Principles of Unity" include the following:

The People's War raging in Peru is extremely important for oppressed people the world over. This revolution, led by the Communist Party of Peru (generally known as Sendero Luminoso or Shining Path), is bringing into being a radically new society. The dispossessed of Peru are rising up bold and defiant to seize political power and break the chains of imperialist domination. In the fiery furnace of People's War, every aspect of the old social order is being challenged -- from the exploitation and oppression of workers and peasants, to racism, to the oppression of woman. We in the Committee to Support the Revolution in Peru (CSRP) are inspired by this revolution and recognize our responsibility to build political support for it.

We will build CSRP chapters across the country that will contribute to building a national organization in order to accomplish the following basic objectives:

1. Develop political support for and popularize the People's War in Peru, led by the Communist Party of Peru.

2. Distribute and popularize the writings of the Communist Party of Peru and other materials that help people understand what this revolution is about; and oppose and expose the lies and slanders about the revolution.

3. Expose, and organize broad opposition to, the repression and terror carried out against the revolution and the Peruvian people.

4. Expose, and organize massive opposition to, foreign intervention in Peru -- mainly and especially that of the U.S. -- while opposing U.S. aggression and intervention anywhere in Latin America.
