UN Human Rights Committee: Australia responsible for children in Nauru regional processing centre
Manage episode 462897158 series 2653977
Children trying to seek refuge in Australia have been detained on Nauru. They argue that Australia is still responsible for them.
Australia made a carefully worded agreement with Nauru to avoid responsibility. If Australia has no responsibility, Australia says it is not obliged to ensure the human rights of these children. Um, okay, weird flex about not protecting literal human children, Australia.
The UN Human Rights Committee has found that Australia is responsible, and breached Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
