Standing Up for Human Rights:
Social Reform

National Commission on Law Enforcement and Social Justice

he National Commission on Law Enforcement and Social Justice (NCLE) was established by the Church in 1974 to guard against and correct abuses resulting from corruption in law enforcement and other governmental agencies that violate the United States Constitution or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

A primary concern of NCLE has been civil rights violations stemming from false reports residing in government files, and the great harm and injustice perpetrated against individuals and groups from reliance on this misinformation.

Through the years, NCLE has worked with many individuals and grass roots groups to broadly educate the general public on the importance of an open and honest government and the necessity for protection of fundamental constitutionally guaranteed civil rights. It is also involved with reform of government agencies. One investigation disclosed that the Food and Drug Administration had approved certain drugs and other consumer items despite clear indications that they had harmful side effects.

More recently NCLE has organized events in which like-minded representatives of the judiciary lectured and made proposals to simplify and improve the justice system, with emphasis on providing due process in the form of fair and speedy trials.
