Abstract

Created by the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA), the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has made important strides in advancing freedom of religion and related human rights. The Commission has raised the overall profile of religious freedom with the US executive branch and Congress through its letters, public statements, hearings, travel, and participation in international meetings and conferences; played a positive role on key issues like reforming US refugee and asylum policy and reducing support for the “defamation of religions” resolution at the United Nations; and, addressed specific countries that are severe violators of religious freedom.
