They are the first asylum seekers to be processed offshore by Australia in four years.Nauruan foreign minister Kieren Keke has told Radio Australia there has been a lot of discussion about legal responsibilities. "We  do however now have a clear understanding that the assessment and  processing and determinations of asylum will be made by Nauru under  Nauru law," he said."That is a significant change but something we are comfortable with."Thirty Sri Lankan asylum seekers were on the plane that landed in Nauru on Friday morning. They were quickly rushed through immigration before being put on two mini-buses and then ferried to the processing facility.They will stay there in a temporary camp sleeping five people to each tent.The camp is capable at this stage of holding an extra 120 asylum seekers.The next plane of asylum seekers is expected next week.But  the Human Rights Commission says it has serious concerns that asylum  seekers sent to Nauru will not have their rights adequately protected.It has questioned if those transferred will have access to legal advice.And the commission says it is also unconvinced the tent accommodation and facilities on the island are adequate.ABC AUSNauru<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/Nauru_on_the_globe_%28Polynesia_centered%29.svg/250px-Nauru_on_the_globe_%28Polynesia_centered%29.svg.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/Flag_of_Nauru.svg/125px-Flag_of_Nauru.svg.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Population 9,400Nauru is the world's smallest republic, covering just 21 square kilometres (8.1 sq mi).
