Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is calling on President Biden to fill an open religious freedom post in his administration.
The Special Advisor on International Religious Freedom within the National Security Council was a role created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.
The critical job is currently vacant.
Senator Rubio wants to change that, penning a letter to the president that contends, “Appointing a qualified and experienced special advisor on international religious freedom within the National Security Council is critical not only to underscore our nation’s dedication to this fundamental human right… but also to enhance our national security by helping to address one of the main causes of conflict and instability.”
Rubio adds, “By prioritizing this position, we not only demonstrate our nation’s unwavering commitment to protecting religious freedom for all, regardless of faith, but we also reaffirm the United States’ leadership role in promoting human rights and democratic principles globally as a beacon of hope for the rest of the world.”
