A mediterranean nation spread across three main islands, Malta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. With regular elections to two chambers, a largely symbolic presidential head of state and the main business of government handled by the prime minister, Malta operates as a parliamentary democratic republic. The overriding human rights concerns around Malta nearly all relate to its treatment of refugees and migrants, which has been greatly criticised.
