inquiry

 
     
  A method of promoting pacific settlement by appointing a commission to inquire into the facts of a dispute and report on them (but not to make recommendations for its solution). The commission may be appointed by the parties or, with their agreement, by an international organization. It is then for the parties to decide what effect, if any, is to be given to the report, or for the appointing organization to decide on what recommendations should be made to the parties. Such a commission may also be described as one of fact-finding or of investigation. See also conciliation; good offices; mediation.
