H.Res. 594 is a congressional resolution condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries around the world. The resolution documents widespread violence and discrimination against Christians in numerous nations, including Nigeria (where it claims thousands are killed annually), Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq, and many others in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The resolution calls on the President to make the protection of persecuted Christians a priority in U.S. foreign policy and to use diplomatic tools—including trade and national security negotiations—to advance their protection. This is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional sentiment rather than legislation that creates new programs or funding, so it does not include specific budget allocations or implementation timelines.
