<h2>Reports related to the Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts for MH370</h2>

<h5>Background</h5>
<p>All nations involved in the search for MH370 are members of the International Civil Aviation Organization ([[ICAO]]) and signatories to the <i>Chicago Convention</i>.</p>
<p>The <i>Chicago Convention</i> is supplemented by 19 [[ICAO/Annexes|Annexes]], two of which are listed below:- </p>
<ul>
   <li>Annex 12 - Search and Rescue, and</li>
   <li>Annex 13 - Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation</li>
</ul>
<p>Of these, Annex 13 has received the most publicity because the main Investigation was conducted by the <i>[[Malaysia/Annex 13 Investigation Team|The Malaysian ICAO Annex 13 Safety Investigation Team for MH370]]</i>.</p>
<p>However, before the Annex 13 investigation began there was a significant international search for MH370 which was in accordance with ICAO Annex 12.</p>
<p>Four of the countries participating in the search for MH370 provided reports to other ICAO member States at their regular meetings. Several of those reports have been collected for inclusion or reference in this website.</p>
<p>A brief summary of each report is listed below. Use the Menu to access the full document.</p>
