Title: Surveying the Landscape of International Religious Freedom Policy
Authors: Jeremy P. Barker, Andrew Bennett, Thomas Farr
About: Despite over twenty years of international religious freedom policy actions, there has never been a comprehensive survey of these initiatives. With the publication of this report, RFI aims to fill this gap by presenting a picture of how extensive these efforts have become during this timeframe. Surveying the Landscape of International Religious Freedom Policy provides a survey of the policy, advocacy, and programming activities of 18 countries and 5 multilateral bodies that seek to advance religious freedom. This resource will equip ministries of foreign affairs, multilateral organizations, and civil society organizations with relevant information to foster better coordination among them.
