<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) leads the government’s work to promote
and protect the right to freedom of religion or belief internationally. DFID works
closely with FCO, helping to raise concerns about discriminatory legislation and practices
with governments, and funding targeted project work. We are clear that promoting freedom
of religion or belief is an important contributor to achieving the UK Aid Strategy’s
goals and is directly relevant to Sustainable Development Goal 16 on building peaceful
and inclusive societies with access to justice for all and effective, accountable
and inclusive institutions. DFID’s Partnership Principles include consideration of
freedom of religion or belief alongside other human rights.</p>
