The Fourth International - International Centre of Reconstruction is an international Trotskyist tendency. It was established as an "International Centre (or Center) of Reconstruction" by co-thinkers of Pierre Lambert, who arged that the post-war political evolution of the Fourth International—especially the tendency known as the United Secreatriat of the Fourth International (USec or USFI)—had taken the FI away from the ideas of its founder, Leon Trotsky. In the opinion of Lambert and his co-thinkers, the FI needed to be reconstructed. In 1993, they formed a new International, which they describe as the Fourth International.

The ICR's roots lie in the Organising Committee for the Reconstruction of the Fourth International (OCRFI), which was established in 1972. It formed a short-lived bloc with Nahuel Moreno's tendency. A Parity Committee which operated in 1979 1980 produced Forty Theses of agreements between the tendencies led by Moreno and Lambert. On that basis, the Fourth International (International Committee) (FI[IC]) was founded in 1980. However, the convergence decellerated because of Lambert's support for the government of Francois Mitterand. Moreno's supporters boycotted a General Council of the FI(IC) in the Autumn of 1981 whereupon Lambert declared a split: Moreno's supporters formed the International Workers League; at a meeting on 21-23 December 1981 Lambert's supporters formed the "Fourth International - International Centre of Reconstruction", or ICR. The Organising Committee for the Reconstruction of the Fourth International (1972-1979) was set up by various Trotskyist groups formerly affiliated to the ICFI which were allied to Pierre Lamberts OCI.

In June 1993, a world conference of 44 sections of the ICR was held in Paris. It reproclaimed the Fourth International on the basis of one of its founding texts: the Transitional Program. The resulting international organization, linked closely with the International Liaison Committee for a Workers' International, is known among its adherents and national sections simply as the Fourth International, while some other Trotskyists persistently refer to it as the "Lambertist" Fourth International, after Pierre Lambert, a founding leader of the French PT. Others call it the Fourth International (La Vérité), after its international theoretical journal La Vérité. The full name of the Transitional Program is The Death Agony of Capitalism and the Tasks of the Fourth International:The Mobilization of the Masses around Transitional Demands to Prepare the Conquest of Power. ...
