In addition, the International Conference on Christian Response to Persecution aims to:

Dignitatis Humanae, The Second Vatican Council’s declaration on religious freedom, and to
inquire into the threats to religious freedom at the time of the declaration and those that Christians face today;
- Elicit a lively discussion of the
global persecution of Christians among journalists, government officials, human rights activists, church leaders, representatives of world religions, scholars, students, and the interested public; and
- Draw public attention to the plight of
persecuted Christian communities, promote cooperation among Christian churches in assisting these communities, and encourage global solidarity with them.
