USCIRF (U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom)

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is an independent, bipartisan federal agency that monitors and reports on religious freedom issues worldwide. Its goal is to promote, protect, and advocate for religious liberty as a fundamental human right. USCIRF evaluates the conditions in different countries, identifies those with severe religious freedom violations, and makes policy recommendations to the U.S. government to address these concerns. It plays a key role in raising awareness and encouraging international action to prevent religious persecution and support individuals facing religious discrimination.
