AUSTRALIA is set to face a high-level international call to review its offshore asylum seeker detainment arrangements after the death of an Iranian man on Manus Island.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay will deliver her annual report, which outlines issues of global concern, in Geneva on Thursday.
Australia gets a mention.
"Recent violence in the regional processing centre on Manus Island ... has underscored the need to review the regional resettlement arrangements," Dr Pillay will say.
The review was necessary to ensure that the human rights of migrants and asylum seekers were fully protected in accordance with international law.
Reza Berati, 23, died on February 17 when violent riots erupted at the Manus Island centre, leaving scores of other people injured.
Dr Pillay will raise Australia's agreement with Papua New Guinea along with other worldwide human rights concerns including terrorism and poverty.
"Today the task of protecting and promoting human rights is as vital as it was 20 years ago," she will tell the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva.
