Claudio Grossman, chair of the ten-person committee and the rapporteur who investigated Australias treatment of asylum seekers, told Fairfax that during his investigation Australia had not provided him with evidence of its compliance with this convention. He said Australia had failed to show that it was not sending asylum seekers back to countries where they faced a substantial risk of torture. He added it was clear that Australia had effective control over the detention centres in PNG and Nauru, and so it was responsible for ensuring that they complied with Australias obligations under the convention.
