Religious freedom is a cornerstone of democratic societies and a fundamental human right protected under international law and the U.S. Constitution. Monitoring developments that affect religious freedom helps ensure that policymakers, civil society organizations, and the public have access to accurate information and evidence-based analysis. Protecting fundamental rights abroad also reinforces democratic resilience at home and strengthens the values that underpin U.S. global leadership.
