Religious freedom conditions remain troubled in much of the world, including in some of the most populous nations. These conditions can mean the difference between life and death, but they also lower the quality of life for countless millions of people. One of the ways the United States has contributed meaningfully as a leader of the free world is through the U.S. Department of State’s list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPCs) for violating religious freedom. This roll of dishonor names and shames countries that show complicity in or indifference toward ongoing violations of religious freedom.
