Religious restrictions and hostilities around the world have risen steadily over the past few decades, reaching an all-time high in 2018 — a trend that has only worsened with the COVID-19 pandemic. On Aug. 2, USIP and the University of Nottingham’s School of Politics and International Relations discussed a new report, Global Trends and Challenges to Protecting and Promoting Freedom of Religion or Belief.
