On June 28-29, 2021, the inaugural Notre Dame Religious Liberty Summit was held on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. The purpose of the event was to bring together top religious freedom advocates, scholars, and other thought leaders to discuss the future of religious freedom in the United States and around the world.

Among the Summit’s many sessions was a panel discussion on, “International Threats to Religious Liberty.” Participants considered the status of religious freedom violations in various regions and countries and the factors fueling those violations. Nathaniel Hurd, Director of RFI’s North America Action Team and Senior Fellow for Public Policy, and Andrew Bennett, RFI Senior Fellow, joined the panel.

Both Hurd and Bennett commented on the growing religious liberty concerns in the United States and Canada and how those concerns shape their efforts to advance religious freedom internationally.
