On one level this is obvious. I mean Assanges fears of getting deported are well founded. Does anyone expect the US govt to just shrug its shoulders and say "meh"? When you kick a hornets nest, you're going to get stung.
On the other hand, I'm surprised the UN is saying it.
I'm not sure how much political power the UN has in all this, I would guess the US has more though?

- inawarminister 7y agoGeneral Assembly and other UN organs have zero vetoes, only Security Council have them IIRC. Of course the UNSC is the most important UN organ in international politics and diplomacy... Oh yeah, UNSC veto-possessing members can also veto UN Secretary-general election in secret.
