The Inter-American Court of Human Rights based in Costa Rica is a multinational independent judicial body which handles court cases relating to the human rights of individuals in or effected by the laws of the members states of the Organization of American States (OAS). At present the OAS is compromised of every North American, Central American and South American nation, although Venezuela has expressed a desire to withdraw from the body.
Today, the Court ruled that it is the duty of nations to allow for the passage of successful asylum seekers from embassies to the mainland territory of the state that has granted an individual asylum. For Julian Assange, this would mean that according to the Court’s decision, Britain has a legal obligation to allow Julian Assange to exit the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in peace and allow for his safe transit to an airport from which he would be able to fly to Ecuador, the country that has granted Assange asylum and where he now also holds formal citizenship.

RE: Today, the Court ruled that it is the duty of nations to allow for the passage of successful asylum seekers from embassies to the mainland territory of the state that has granted an individual asylum.
To paraphrase Joseph Stalin: “And How Many Divisions Does this Court Have?”
Who is going to carry out their ruling and ensure the safe passage of Assange out of the embassy?
“Who would have guessed that a single guy with weird hair could do more for America than her ENTIRE media machine..?”
Assange is not single! He has an ex-wife and a son in Australia.
“While in his teens, Assange married a woman named Teresa, and in 1989 they had a son, Daniel Assange, now a software designer. The couple separated and initially disputed custody of their child. Assange was Daniel’s primary caregiver for much of his childhood. Assange has other children; in an open letter to French President François Hollande, he stated that his youngest child lives in France with his mother. He also said that his family had faced death threats and harassment because of his work, forcing them to change identities and reduce contact with him.”
What happened to the good old days of putting the person in a “diplomatic” marked container and the Ambassador taking him right out the front door to a waiting airplane?
Trump should “call on the Ecuadoran Embassy” in his limo, pick up Assange and take him to the airport where AF-1 is sitting. Then give Assange the choice of where he goes next, Ecuador or the US!
You know that for a fact? Give us the lede to the story.
“Assange is not single! He has an ex-wife “
You’re killin’ me! An ex-wife is the same as no wife, thus...single!
The Brit commies will wait until his flight is over international waters - then they’ll shoot it down. The Brits don’t give a sh*t about 100’s of innocents they kill in the process. After all, the English scumbags have no problem murdering two-year old children, as they have twice now demonstrated. Cold hearted bastards, those limeys
Ruling isn’t worth the paper it is written on. Kind of like the indictments of the Russian intelligence officers today.
I wonder if his escape has already happened, and this is the formalized report that makes it all OK for him to be in another country/locale at the right time.
To not recognize the authority of the court means they breach the sovereignty of the embassy. Not a trivial thing.
He has publicly mentioned that he misses his son!
p
coinkey-dink with today’s RR announcement?
This gives the Brits an excuse to get Assange out of their hair. They should take advantage.
It’s past time for Julian to tell the world where he got the DNC info that has caused all the CRAP going on in our country!
Understood, but single refers to marital status, not whether or not you have kids.
I am a single man with two sons.
Maybe, Trump will bring both Snowden and Assange back to the US
... and while President Trump is over there, he can bring Snowden back
