Wikileak's founder Julian Assange is in the eye of the storm for releasing highly sensitive and confidential information about world governments, exposing their double standards and even hipocrisy, and for allegedly raping a woman. For this reason, the UK and US government are prosecuting him, basically in order ot silence his uncomfortable voice.

At present, Assange has taken refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has spent the last couple of months, and his situation is quite complicated because if he sets a foot out of the Embassy he will be detained by the police. British police cannot access the Embassy on the risk of sparking a serious diplomatic row with Ecuador. The only solutions for him are:

To travel to Switzerland via the Eurotunnel as article 22:3 of the Viena Convention states that means of transport in dioplomatic missions cannot be inspected. Moreover, Switzerland does not have extradition treaties with the US.

To be appointed as employee of the Ecuadorian Embassy to perform a task for them. In this way he would obtain diplomatic inmunity and would not be arrested.

To appoint Assange as an Ecuadorian representative in the UN enjoying all the diplomatic privileges of UN members, who cannot be arrested while travelling. He could travel from London to New York to attend a UN session and then fly to Quito, the capital city of Ecuador.

Finally, a more bizarre yet still possible solution would be to send Assange inside a diplomatic package as these cannot be retianed nor opened. WWho would know Assange is inside teh package if the box cannot be opened?
