Key Findings and Recommendations

USCIRF’s 2022 Annual Report reflects significant developments over the past year with progress in some countries bringing positive change while other nations implemented laws and policies further targeting religious communities, and in some cases amounting to crimes against humanity and genocide.
In its report, USCIRF notes several of its recommendations implemented by the U.S. government. The report also highlights important global developments and trends related to religious freedom during 2021, including in countries that do not meet the criteria of a "country of particular concern" (CPC) or Special Watch List (SWL). These include: the COVID-19 pandemic and religious freedom, blasphemy and hate speech law enforcement, transnational repression, religious intolerance in Europe, deteriorating religious freedom conditions in South Asia, and political upheaval that raises religious freedom concerns.
This year’s report features new and many repeated actionable recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and Congress intended to deter religious persecution and promote freedom of religion and belief abroad.
