Stating that madrassas (seminaries) in Pakistan continued to provide training and motivation to those who fought in Jammu and Kashmir and Afghanistn and persecuted religious minorities, the US Commission on Religious Freedom has recommended that Pakistan be listed among the Countries of Particular Concern (CPCs). In its recommendation, the Commission said, despite the proposed law to reform madrassas, "too many of Pakistan's Islamic religious schools continue to provide ideological training and motivation to those who go on to fight in Afghanistan and Kashmir, and who take part in violence targeting religious minorities in Pakistan”. Once a country is designated CPC, the International Religious Freedom Act (IRFA) requires that the US "oppose these egregious and systematic violations, whether the government itself commits them or tolerates them."
