United States Commission on International Religious Freedom

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is an independent, bipartisan federal agency that monitors religious freedom worldwide. Its goal is to assess and promote religious liberty, identifying governments that persecute or restrict religious practices. USCIRF makes policy recommendations to the U.S. government and international community to help protect individuals’ rights to practice their faith freely. It serves as a watchdog, raising awareness about violations and encouraging actions to improve religious freedom globally.
