Commissions of inquiry 2012, para. 37
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In recent years, the United Nations has appointed non-judicial commissions of inquiry that have taken a variety of forms. Such commissions were established by the Security Council in the case of, for example, Darfur (resolution 1564 (2004)) and Lebanon (resolutions 1595 (2005), 1636 (2005) and 1644 (2005)); and by the Secretary-General in the case of, for instance, Côte d'Ivoire, Timor-Leste (resolution 1690 (2006)), Guinea and Pakistan. The commissions of inquiry had prescribed terms of reference that focused on violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
