UN torture body abandons attempts to inspect Australian detention sites
A United Nations body committed to preventing torture has terminated its review of Australian places of detention after authorities in some states refused to let them in – joining Rwanda as the only other country where a visit has been terminated. In a statement, the UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture said it was canceling the remainder of a 12-day tour that was suspended last year due to “obstacles” in carrying out its mandate.
The committee also said it had “serious concern” about the imprisonment of children as young as 10 in places where they were “frequently subjected to verbal abuse, racist remarks and solitary confinement.” It recommended Australia raise the minimum age of criminal responsibility to international standards, which is at least 14, according to the UN’s Committee on the Rights of the Child.
