Freedom of Conscience & Religion
Religious freedom and freedom of conscience is a litmus test of all human rights
Freedom of conscience and religion is the most essential of all human rights, the deepest expression of human dignity and freedom. If this primary freedom is not respected, other human rights will not be respected.
Through its Freedom of Conscience and Religion Initiatives, the Global Peace Foundation has championed and executed a range of multilateral initiatives that provide education, awareness, and advocacy in addressing international religious freedom violations and domestic religious liberty infringements.
As a staunch advocate for efforts to support religious freedom around the world, the Global Peace Foundation serves as a co-chair of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable, as co-chair of the U.S. Capital Area Coalition on Religious Liberty, and advocate within the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships for guaranteeing religious freedom protections in the public square during the last three U.S. administrations.
