<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is committed to using our influence to defend
Freedom of Religion or Belief as a universal human right which should be enjoyed by
everyone. The Government is deeply concerned about the severity of violations of Freedom
of Religion or Belief in many parts of the world. In recent years we have seen reports
of a particular rise in the persecution of Christians. The Foreign Secretary recently
asked the Bishop of Truro to conduct an independent global review into the persecution
of Christians. The review will provide recommendations on the additional practical
steps the FCO can take to support persecuted Christians. The review will provide a
report by the summer.</p>
