Title IV of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 ( 22 U.S.C. 6441 et seq. ) is amended by inserting after section 405 the following new section: Congress finds the following: Since 1998, various administrations have made designations targeting violent nonstate actors who engaged in or tolerated systematic, egregious, or ongoing violations of religious freedom, such as the Taliban and Serbian groups carrying on atrocities against Bosnians. Over the past 10 years the number of violent nonstate actors has increased, as have violations of religious freedom perpetuated by such actors.
It should be the policy of the United States Government that— violent nonstate actors should be eligible for designation as countries of particular concern described in section 402(b) and that Presidential actions described in section 405, 604, or 605 of this Act should be applicable to violent nonstate actors or individual members of such groups; and the President should include, in the report to Congress required by section 404, any reasons why violent nonstate actors that engaged in or tolerated restrictions on religious freedom, were not designated as countries of particular concern, particularly if the Commission made a recommendation for such a designation to the President and whether any Presidential actions described in section 405, 604, or 605 were taken against violent nonstate actors or individual members of such groups. .
