Morrison hits back at UN criticism of Australias treatment of asylum seekers Immigration Minister Scott Morrison defended Australias human rights record on asylum seekers after receiving a bad rap at the United Nations overnight. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has hit back at UN criticism of Australias treatment of asylum seekers. The incoming UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raad Al Hussein, used his first speech in Geneva to censure the Abbott governments policy of processing asylum seekers offshore and turning back boats. The policy was leading to a chain of human rights violations including arbitrary detention and possible torture after asylum seekers were returned to home countries, he said. The likely resettlement of processed refugees on Nauru to ill-equipped countries such as Cambodia was also a concern. Mr Morrison rejected Mr Al Husseins criticism. The most flagrant abuse of human rights I am aware of is the beheading and crucifying of people in Syria and Iraq, where Australia is seeking to relieve the humanitarian crisis, he said in a statement on Tuesday. Mr Morrison indicated he would be pleased to meet with the commissioner to discuss his concerns. Human rights lawyer, Daniel Webb, said its embarrassing for Australia to be mentioned in the speech which he says highlights the seriousness with which Australias flagrant breaches of international law are regarded on the world stage. The speech runs to 8 pages and the mention of Australia is a one sentence reference on page 7. This is the new UN human right chiefs maiden speech and in it hes addressed the most acute human rights abuses occuring in the world right now, he told SBS. In addition to that, hes seen fit to specifically mention the chain of human rights violations that are being produced by Australias asylum seeker policies.
