    Malta se encuentra en la primera línea de la ruta del Mediterráneo central. Es un punto en el recorrido de los migrantes que vienen de la costa norteafricana y cruzan el Mediterráneo, que tienen que pasar por la zona de búsqueda y salvamento maltesa. Malta se adhirió al Convenio SAR de 1979 en 2002, pero aún no ha firmado las Enmiendas de 2004 que aclaran que el desembarco de personas encontradas en peligro en el mar debe realizarse en lugar seguro

    Malta is located at the frontline of the Central Mediterranean route. It is a waypoint for migrants coming from the North African coast and crossing the Mediterranean, who have to pass through the Maltese search and rescue region. Malta acceded to the 1979 SAR Convention in 2002, but it has not yet signed the 2004 Amendments which clarify that the disembarkation of persons found in distress at sea must be done in a place of safety
