SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Cemeteries are sacred sites that are of great 
spiritual, cultural, and historical significance to 
many religious and ethnic groups. 
(2) Congress is committed to protecting and 
preserving the heritage and sacred sites of national, 
religious, and ethnic groups, which includes ceme-
teries in the United States and abroad. 
(3) Cemeteries around the world have and con-
tinue to be defaced or destroyed as a direct result 
of their affiliation with a particular religious or spir-
itual group. 
(4) Such attacks constitute an assault on the 
fundamental right to freedom of religion, and are es-
pecially egregious when sponsored or tolerated by 
the local or national governments in the countries in 
which such offenses occur.
