 The MRTA used techniques that were more traditional to Latin American leftist organizations, like wearing uniforms, claiming to fight for true democracy, and accusations of human rights abuses by the state; in contrast, the PCP did not wear uniforms and did not care for electoral processes, instead seeking democracy for the people.During the conflict, the MRTA and the PCP engaged in combat with each other.The MRTA only played a small part in the overall conflict, being declared by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to have been responsible for 1.5 percent of casualties accumulated throughout the conflict.
