It demands the withdrawal of the Allied Armies from Russia, protests against capitalist intervention in any foreign country and against any form of economic war after the war, and demands the immediate restoration of the workers' International, and the inclusion in the Peace terms of an International Labour Charter free from all servile conditions, and leading the way to the Socialist Commonwealth."
