The International Commission consisted of university professors and other prominent individuals from France, Great Britain, United States, Germany, Austria and Russia.
[1] The Commission went to the participating countries at the beginning of August 1913 and remained until the end of September.
After returning to Paris all the material was processed and released in the form of a detailed report.
[2][3] The information collected was published by the Endowment in the early summer of 1914, but was soon overshadowed by the beginning of the First World War.
[5] The Carnegie Endowment reissued the report uncritically in 1993, leading some to criticise the decision for anachronism and reinforcing the stereotype of 'Balkan violence'.
