| Inherent in religious freedom is the right to believe or not believe as oneâ s conscience leads, and to live out oneâ s beliefs openly, peacefully, and without fear. While religious freedom is Americaâ s first freedom, it also is a core human right that international law and treaty recognize; a necessary component of U.S. foreign policy and Americaâ s commitment to defending democracy and freedom globally; and a vital element of national security, critical to ensuring a more peaceful, prosperous, and stable world. Chapter 1 assesses religious freedom violations and progress in 28 countries during calendar year 2023 and makes independent recommendations for U.S. policy. Chapter 2 reports on countries where citizens are suffering from religious persecution. Chapter 3 compiles national laws criminalizing blasphemy worldwide and explains how those blasphemy laws are inconsistent with international human rights law. Chapter 4 details how many countries have national-level anti-conversion laws and explains how those anti-conversion laws are inconsistent with international human rights law. |
