<p>The UK Government promotes interreligious dialogue and co-operation in Iraq and
the right to freedom of religion or belief for all of Iraq’s religious communities.
At the political level, we urge the Government of Iraq consistently at senior levels
to uphold the rights of all minorities. We also work to build international consensus
on upholding freedom of religion or belief. In addition, we support practical projects
on community dialogue with civil society and faith groups. For example, through the
Foreign Office’s Magna Carta Fund, we have contributed £163,000 to support a project
across several countries in the Middle East, including Iraq, to promote legal and
social protection for freedom of religion or belief. This project aims to prevent
intolerance and violence towards religious communities by inspiring leaders in Iraqi
society to defend freedom of religion or belief.</p>
