Amnesty International has told the United Nations that Australia is still failing to protect the rights of refugees it sent to Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
The NGO has prepared a submission for the upcoming Universal Periodic Review of Australia's human rights record.
Over 370 people are still held offshore in PNG and Nauru as part of a 2013 agreement that all refugees arriving in Australia by boat be detained in the Pacific countries.
As Amnesty's refugee coordinator Graham Thom told Johnny Blades that seven years later, many of these men and women still suffer terrible conditions.
