| The United Nations Children's Fund says Australia is violating the rights of children being sent from Nauru to Cambodia under the refugee transfer agreement.
UNICEF has joined a chorus of international agencies in raising concerns over the $A40 million refugee resettlement pact with Cambodia, with the first of the refugees expected to be flown out from Nauru this week.
UNICEF has warned that no government policy or action should knowingly put children's lives or their well being at increased risk.
A UNICEF spokesman, Chris de Bono, said Australia and Cambodia needed to be aware of their international obligation under the convention to protect children.
