The UN Human Rights Committee stated that Australia violated refugee rights, particularly minors, by subjecting them to arbitrary detention on Nauru despite their granted refugee status.
Committee member Mahjoub El Haiba emphasized that outsourcing asylum processing does not absolve a state party from its human rights responsibilities.
Australia was found to have detained refugees, including vulnerable minors, without adequate access to essential needs such as healthcare and sufficient sustenance.
The panel urged Australia to compensate affected refugees and prevent future occurrences of similar human rights violations.
