CHAPTER IX. THE NATIONAL PARTY CONGRESS

ARTICLE 35. The National Party Congress is the supreme Party Organ in

the country. The meeting shall be called once annually by the Central

Party Committee and the Communist International. Special meetings can be

called by the Central Party Committee or initiated by the Communist

International. It may also be called by request of a majority of the

Delegates who attended the last meeting. The call of the special

meeting, however, must be approved by the Central Party Committee first.

Resolutions which have been passed by the majority of the Delegates

shall become effective. The number of Delegates and percentage in each

Party Organ shall be determined by the Communist International, the

Central Party Committee, or the preliminary session of the Party

Convention.

ARTICLE 36. The duties of the National Party Congress are:

_a._ To receive and examine reports issued by the Central Party

Committee.

_b._ To determine Party regulations.

_c._ To determine the important political or organization plans.

_d._ To elect the Central Party Committee.

ARTICLE 37. Delegates to the Party Congress are to be elected by the

Provincial Councils of Party Delegates. In special cases requiring

secret action, they may be appointed by the Provincial Party Committee

with the approval of the Communist International Committee. A

provisional Congress can be substituted for the regular Congress with

only the consent of the International Communist Committee.
