It was created along with the Muggle-Born Registration Commission when Lord Voldemort was indirectly in control of the Ministry during the height of the Second Wizarding War, and is the leading power within this organisation.

History
On August 1, 1997, Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters took over the Ministry of Magic. Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour was killed, the Imperius-cursed Pius Thicknesse was installed as a puppet in his place, and the Death Eaters began a campaign against their enemies, mostly notably Muggle-borns. They were ordered to register with the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, which convicted them of stealing magic from "real" wizards and witches and imprisoned them in Azkaban.
The head of the Commission conducted the trials and directed the efforts to round up Muggle-borns, which was performed by Snatchers. The position was eliminated after Voldemort was defeated and the Commission was disbanded in May of 1998.
