Twenty-five years of bipartisan support for international religious freedom

Twenty-five years ago, Congress created the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom as part of the landmark International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. As the years passed, one priority has remained constant -- bipartisan support for U.S. efforts to promote freedom of religion or belief abroad. Marking a quarter century of elevating religious freedom in U.S. foreign policy, the commission, known as USCIRF, released its 25th congressionally mandated annual report.
