The UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) has already announced the opening of an enquiry following Monday's events, which saw an Italian registered supply ship rescue 108 migrants from a vessel in distress, delivering all aboard to Tripoli on the instruction of the Libyan navy. Since late June, the management of Libya's SAR (Search And Rescue) zone has been the responsibility of the Libyan navy. The zone extends beyond the country's territorial waters, covering a maritime area where traffickers' boats have been met by NGOs, and migrants transported to ports on the European mainland.
