The Belarusian Left Party "A Just World" (Belarusian: Беларуская партыя аб'яднаных левых «Справядлівы сьвет», Russian: Белорусская партия объединённых левых «Справедливый мир») is a left-wing political party in Belarus, which opposes the government of president Alexander Lukashenko. Until October 2009 it was known as the Party of Belarusian Communists (Belarusian: Партыя камуністаў Беларусі, translit. Partyja Kamunistau Bielarusi, Russian: Партия коммунистов Белоруссии, translit. Partiya Kommunistov Belorussii).
Founded as the Party of Belarusian Communists (PKB) in 1991 as the successor of the ruling Communist Party of Byelorussia, the organization originally emerged as one of the major political parties in independent Belarus. The Party of Communists of Belarus should be distinguished from the pro-Alexander Lukashenko Communist Party of Belarus, which broke away from PKB in 1996.
At the legislative elections, 13–17 October 2004, the party was part of the People's Coalition 5 Plus, which didn't secure any seats. These elections fell significantly short of OSCE commitments according to the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission. Universal principles and constitutionally guaranteed rights of expression, association and assembly were seriously challenged, calling into question the Belarusian authorities’ willingness to respect the concept of political competition on a basis of equal treatment. According to this mission principles of an inclusive democratic process, whereby citizens have the right to seek political office without discrimination, candidates to present their views without obstruction, and voters to learn about them and discuss them freely, were largely ignored.
