The digital version of the annual Diplomatic Report of the Order of Malta, published in June, is now available online. Please note that publications in PDF format can be downloaded from the Publications page of this site. The Report is available in five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Two publications, the Diplomatic Report and the Activity Report, have been created to offer both members and non-members an up-to-date description of the works of the Order, its current activities, organization and historical context.

The preparation of these publications, which together supercede the International Review, was the result of collaboration between all our Priories, National Associations, Embassies and the various agencies of the Order all over the world.

The Order of Malta has a tradition of nine hundred years of service to the poor and the sick and it is as active today as it was when it was founded in Jerusalem in the eleventh century. Its 10,000 members, together with its network of volunteers and specialized personnel, work in the four corners of the globe to help those in need, without distinction as to age, race or religious beliefs.

We trust that these publications will give readers a clear picture of our humanitarian activities in both developing and industrialized countries, as well as demonstrating the importance of the delicate role our Ambassadors play in areas of the world where there are conflicts or natural disasters.

The Activity Report will be available online shortly.
