This Friday, June 27, the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington will host a panel on the 2014 Annual Report of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom:
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recently released its 2014 Annual Report, entitled 15th Anniversary Retrospective: Renewing the Commitment. USCIRF is an independent U.S. government advisory body that monitors religious freedom worldwide and makes policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and the Congress. The report examines the past decade and a half of U.S. foreign policy as it relates to religious freedom promotion and provides recommendations for how the United States can more effectively advance this right in the 21st century. In addition, the report highlights the situation of religious freedom globally and identifies governments who are the most egregious violators.
