The United Nations Human Rights Council set up an inquiry commission in June 2014 to investigate rights abuses in Eritrea. The year-long inquiry concluded on June 8 that Eritrea committed
widespread abuses that could amount to crimes against humanity. Sheila Keetharuth, the council's special rapporteur on human rights in Eritrea, said in a statement that the violations in the country were occurring on a "scope and scale seldom witnessed elsewhere".
