      Introduction

      In 1948 the United Nations declared religious freedom to be a universal human right and constituent nations have ratified that proclamation. Compliance with this lofty objective, however, varies from country to country. This section of the Religious Freedom Page examines the status of religious freedom for every nation in the world. The materials available for each nation varies considerably, but for many countries the resources available are quite extensive. A common presentational format makes possible a quick overview of the materials available for any given country. Access any country and then select any or all of the following types of information:

      • Distribution of religious groups;
      • Summary of the status of religious freedom ;
