Description
Summary:The objective of this scientific article is to analyze the figure of the diplomatic asylum in the current context, taking as a reference the case of Julian Assange, for this purpose a cross-sectional documentary-bibliographic review was carried out, for the qualitative analysis of the diplomatic asylum figure and the principle of non-repayment. The documentary review made it possible to identify that asylum is the protection and security that a State provides to a foreign person who requests it, because it is in danger of its life and security for political, economic, religious or scientific reasons. It is concluded that diplomatic asylum is applied to the principle of non-reimstation which is a mandatory rule in the international system, recognized by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
