Initial signatories to the Vällilä Compact, in addition to the United Workers' Party, were the [[Ekvatora|Ekvatori]] Petrovist Socialist League, the [[Phoenixia|Phoenixian]] Labor Movement, the Marblec Socialist Union (of [[Sorentavia]]), and Kietul Njartikt - Civic Renewal (of [[Aduraszna]]). With the relative exception of Vesienväl and Ekvatora, these initial signatories were very disparate around the world, limited in their options of expressing solidarity by the cost of moving across such distances. Membership in the organization expanded slowly: NUSCCE of [[Kurandia]] joined in 1984, the Syrtæn'at Elerist Party of [[Syrtænzna]] in 1986, the Socialist Party for Federalism of [[Ayaupia]] in 1987, and the Royalist Workers Party of the [[Federation of the Southern Coast]] in 1989. With the exceptions of the Salusz Network replacing NUSCCE and the Arcturian Socialist Party replacing Phoenixian Labor Movement in 2007, no new members would join the organization until 2020, when both [[Durakia]] and [[Ni-Rao (Raonite PDR)|South Ni-Rao]] (recognized by the organization as "Ni-Rao") joined.
The organization is generally regarded as having accomplished very little of substance. The only formal legislative body of the ISSO was a general session of delegates elected by each member party held once every three years, called a International General Congress of Workers. In between General Congresses, a Presidium overlooked day-to-day administrative affairs. The Vesienvällic organizers portrayed these General Congresses as massive, grand expressions of global comradeship and international agreement in advancing the socialist cause. However, when the first Grand Congress was called in 1983, it soon became apparent that aside from very broad and general statements on supporting socialism, the various delegations were all reticent to agree on any messaging that was not written by their own delegation. Each had such particular instructions from party headquarters that little compromise or consensus was possible. The principal achievement of the first International General Congress of Workers was the Evakjevo Declaration, a document that "rededicated" signatories to "the cause of global communism in our time," hailed by the United Workers' Party at the time as a "crucial moment of change" but regarded with very little attention from media, even in the state media of countries whose parties were in attendance.
