In March 2022, the IBAHRI, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations hosted two side events at the UNHRC 49th Session on religious or belief minorities at risk. The first event looked at minorities at risk in Xinjiang, Afghanistan and Nigeria, whilst the second was concerned with UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief Ahmed Shaheed’s report on conflict & instability, with a focus on the situation of religious minorities in Iraq and Myanmar.
