The Commission nationale consultative des droits de l'homme (National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, CNCDH) is a French governmental organization created in 1947[1] by an arrêté from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to monitor the respect for human rights in the country.

It may acts as counsellor for the government and propose laws, and then survey the application of governmental measures and laws voted in Parliament.

The CNCDH is under the authority of the prime minister, and presided over by a director, Christine Lazerges, who can be summoned by the office of the P.M., or who can take the initiative in consulting with them.

The 1990 Gayssot Act tasks the CNCDH of providing a yearly report on the state of the struggle against racism in France.
