USCIRF's 2014 Annual Report, the 15th since our creation in 1998, provides an inflection point to review U.S. religious freedom policy over the past decade-and-a-half and discuss ways to strengthen U.S. engagement. To these ends, the report is divided into four sections: 1) a discussion of international standards for religious freedom; 2) a review of what the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) provides and how it has been implemented over the past 15 years; 3) recommen- dations for ways to improve and adapt U.S. foreign policy on religious freedom promotion to the 21st century; and 4) an examination of specific country situations, including country-focused policy recommandations.   The focus of the 2014 Annual Report examines IRFA implementation and recommends ways to adjust U.S policy to promote freedom of religion or belief more effectively for all. These sections of the report highlight what Congress did in passing IRFA, what the statute provides, and how all administrations since its passage have implemented (or failed to implement) its provi- sions. We do not just identify shortcomings, but also recommend actions to both the executive branch and Congress.
