The authors alleged that Australia violated articles 7, 9(1), 9(4), 10(1), 12, 13, 17, 19(2), 21, 23, 24 and 26 of the ICCPR, in relation to the authors’ immigration detention in Australia and Nauru. The Committee formed the view that the authors’ claims in relation to articles 10(1), 12, 13, 17, 19(2), 21, 23, 24 and 26, were inadmissible. The Committee also formed the view that the available information did not disclose that the authors’ transfer to Nauru amounted to a violation of Article 7 of the ICCPR. The Committee issued adverse views in respect of articles 9(1) and 9(4) of the ICCPR.
