Ours is the Fourth International. The fourth, "Trotskyist", because the other three disappeared - by political abdication, or organisational collapse. - read article...
 
The Fourth International’s highest decision-making body is its World Congress. As the climax of a process of democratic discussion and election of delegates among the national sections, the World Congress determines the political line of the International as a whole on all programmatic issues.
The highest decision-making body between meetings of the World Congress is the International Committee. It is elected by the World Congress from representatives of the sections.
The Bureau meets between International Committees in order to oversee the implementation of decisions. The Bureau is accountable to the International Committee for the decisions it takes.
Theses drafted by the international leadership and common resolutions of FI sections.
