Commissions of Inquiry of the International Labour Organization (ILO) are the highest procedural measure available to examine the observance by member states of the organization's norms and conventions. Since 1961, 14 member states have been subject to 14 Commissions of Inquiry. Only one commission examiend more than one member state (the November 1981 Commission examined Haiti and Domincian Republic jointly) and only one member state has been the subject of more than one Commission (Myannmar in March 1997 and March 2022).

The Constitution of the ILO allows for member states or delegates to the International Labour Conference to bring complaints to the Governing Body, which, if held to have merit, are referred to a Commission of Inquiry. Commissions operate autonomously in quasi-judicial fashion, with authority to investigate and take witness statements, and their recommendations are binding on member states (although appeals to the International Court of Justice are possible). Failure to implement a Commission's recommendations can give rise to economic sanctions.
