This English edition presents the report of the commission appointed to investigate conditions in the Congo Free State. It records the inquiry’s remit, its travels and testimony, and its examination of the treatment of inhabitants by State agents and private enterprises.
The commission discusses land and labor arrangements, taxation, compulsory services, concessions and the administration of justice. Its findings and proposed changes appear alongside the official documents introducing the inquiry. The complete 1906 volume provides a primary source for studying the institutions and practices of the Congo Free State, with its original wording and documentary structure retained.
