The Commission of Inquiry "had a frank, open and cordial conversation with former President Musharraf, having been able to pose to him many queries on issues central to its mandate," the group said in a statement issued yesterday.
Set up following a request from the Pakistani Government, the Commission has met with dozens of individuals in the course of its work, which it formally started on 1 July.
The Commission is headed by Ambassador Heraldo Mu"of Chile, and its other members are Marzuki Darusman, the former attorney-general of Indonesia, and Peter Fitzgerald, a veteran of the Irish National Police who has also served the UN in a number of capacities.
It will submit a report to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon within six months of starting its work. Mr. Ban will then share the report with the Government and submit it to the Security Council for information.
