Australia's long-standing policy of outsourcing asylum processing to Nauru has been condemned by the UN, which stated that the country bears responsibility for the rights of those detained.
Mahjoub El Haiba emphasized that states cannot evade their human rights duties by outsourcing asylum processing, as they maintain significant influence and control over such operations.
Despite Australia's disavowal of jurisdiction over Nauru, the UN committee noted the country's active role in establishing and managing the detention center, highlighting accountability.
The rulings underscore the importance of adhering to international human rights standards, especially as other nations consider outsourcing their own asylum policies to third-party countries.
