| Subject: UN report: OZschwitz in breach of international torture convention Sun Mar 08, 2015 8:46 pm | |
| An independent expert has found aspects of Australia's asylum-seeker policies have breached the United Nations Convention Against Torture.
A report addressing concerns about Manus Island, as well as recent amendments to maritime laws, is due to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council today.
It was prepared by Juan Mendez, the UN special rapporteur on torture.
Human Rights Law Centre director of legal advocacy Daniel Webb says the report finds detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island, and conditions at the centre, violate the convention.
