In short:

A UN committee has found that Australia violated a human rights treaty by detaining a group of asylum seekers, including minors, on Nauru even after they were granted refugee status.

The UN has asked the government to provide compensation to the victims and to ensure similar violations do not recur.

What's next?

The federal government is yet to comment on the findings.
