Bill > SRes327

This resolution condemns the widespread persecution of Christians in numerous Muslim-majority countries, highlighting specific instances of discrimination, violence, and systemic oppression across multiple nations. Based on data from Open Doors' World Watch List, the resolution notes that over 380 million Christians worldwide suffer high levels of persecution, with particularly severe conditions in countries like Nigeria, where thousands of Christians are killed annually, and in regions like the Sahel, where Christians are frequently targeted by terrorists. The resolution specifically calls attention to religious freedom violations in countries such as Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Gaza, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Indonesia, detailing specific forms of persecution including church closures, arrests, forced conversions, physical violence, and systemic discrimination. Ultimately, the resolution calls on the President to prioritize the protection of persecuted Christians in U.S. foreign policy by using diplomatic engagement, efforts to stabilize the Middle East, and leveraging diplomatic tools like trade and national security discussions to advance the protection of Christians worldwide.
