CSW's evidence-based reports are widely used and cited by the Foreign Office, US State Department, US Commission on International Religious Freedom, UN and others on a regular basis. We regularly briefs officials from the European Council, the European Commission, current and future EU presidencies, MEPs, and NGOs on the situations in all our key countries of focus.
