Documents and Statements of the
Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)

      We are beginning to post a collection of documents and statements issued by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), including those issued under its earlier names. [From February 1995 until January 2009 it was called the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), and from December 1991 until February 1995 it was called the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre).] We are also including a section of news reports about UCPN(M) Party decisions and views, which of course are unofficial.

      In a separate area on this website we are also posting articles and statements by individual leaders of the UCPN(M).

      Within each section here the most recent documents are at the top. We hope to greatly expand this archive in the future. If you know of additional documents or statements which should be posted here, or have any comments or suggestions, please contact us at: freespeech@bannedthought.net

— NOTICE —       Due to the repressive legislation and judicial decisions in the United States, we at BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET want to make it completely clear that we do not have any connection whatsoever with the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), or with any other party in Nepal or any other country for that matter. We do not aid, promote, assist, support, or provide any sort of services or advice to the UCPN(Maoist) or to any other party. However, we do support the right of free speech, and the right of the people in both Nepal and internationally to read the views and publications of this and all other parties and organizations. For this reason we do object to the de facto suppression of the views and ideas put forward by the UCPN(Maoist), either past or present. And for this reason alone we are making copies of many UCPN(Maoist) documents available on this site, along with those by many of its leaders, critics and other commentators.
