Allow Julian Assange Right To Safe Passage Under Refugee Act of 1951

Additional Information

Julian Assange has been granted asylum in Ecuador, he is hauled up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in Knightsbridge, London. Britain has a legal obligation to allow him the right to safe passage to Ecuador under the Convention of Diplomatic Asylum (1954)

Article XI
The government of the territorial State may, at any time, demand _ at the asylee be withdrawn from the
country, for which purpose the said State shall grant a safe-conduct and the guarantees stipulated in
Article V.

Article V
Asylum may not be granted except In urgent cases and for the periodic of time strictly necessary for the
asylee to depart from the country with the guarantees granted by the Government of the territorial State,
to the end that his life, liberty, or personal Integrity may not be endangered, or that the asylee's safety is
ensured in some other way.

This trumps any right to extradition for crimes he has not been convicted of or even given a swift and fair trial for.
