The Congress claims the legitimacy of the
Mountainous Republic of the North Caucasus, an effort by Circassian, Chechen, Dagestani and Ingush peoples to create a single state in the North Caucasus. The group also argues that they have the right to oppose Russia through force of arms via the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the
Right to Rebel against Violations of Human Rights as the group states Russia is in violation of their Civil, Political, Economic, Social, and Cultural rights. The organization has been described as an extension of the ambitions of the
Chechen government in exile in an effort to advocate for independence, as well as expand their influence to the rest of the North Causeus, to counteract the influence of their rivals in the
Chechen Islamist which pursued a pan-Caucasus agenda. To this end, the Congress has frequently condemned the government of
Ramzan Kadyrov. ==Member organizations==
