ABOUT THE SERIES
Religious Freedom and US Foreign Policy: Taking Stock, Looking Forward
A Series of Three Symposia at Georgetown University
In October 1998 Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the International Religious Freedom Act. The IRF Act mandated the promotion of religious liberty around the world as a central element of American foreign policy. This year three symposia at Georgetown examines the origins (February 25), performance (April 21) and promise (October 10) of IRF policy. Experts from across the spectrum of American public life—scholars, policymakers, experts and journalists—as well as informed officials and observers from around the globe, will analyze policy. The October symposium, building on the earlier two, presents recommendations for the new administration.
