International human rights organisations have rounded on the Federal Government's deal to relocate refugees from Nauru to Cambodia.
The deal signed by Immigration Minister Scott Morrison in Cambodia on Friday will allow refugees to be sent from Nauru to Cambodia to be resettled.
Mr Morrison says under the deal Australian will help refugees to "re-establish their lives free from persecution".
However, Amnesty International called it "a new low in Australia's deplorable and inhumane treatment of asylum seekers" and the UN refugee agency UNHCR says it is "deeply concerned" by the deal.
