International Commission of Inquiry

An International Commission of Inquiry is a group formed to investigate serious issues, often related to human rights violations, conflicts, or crimes against humanity. These commissions gather evidence, interview witnesses, and analyze situations to understand what happened and who is responsible. Their findings aim to promote accountability, provide justice for victims, and inform international bodies about necessary actions. While their recommendations are not legally binding, they can influence public opinion and policymaking, and sometimes lead to legal actions against perpetrators in national or international courts.
