Condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries.

H. Res. 594 is a non-binding House resolution condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries. Drawing on Open Doors’ World Watch List 2025, it highlights that hundreds of millions of Christians face high levels of persecution globally, with numerous country-specific concerns in Muslim-majority contexts. The resolution calls on the President to prioritize the protection of persecuted Christians in U.S. foreign policy and to pursue this objective through diplomatic engagement with Muslim-majority countries, including in the Middle East, and to use all available diplomatic tools—such as those used in trade and national security discussions—to advance protection for persecuted Christians worldwide. As a resolution, it expresses the sense of the House rather than creating new laws or funding. It identifies numerous country-level examples and directs executive-branch action through diplomacy, rhetoric, and policy emphasis rather than through mandatory statutory programs.
