As a sovereign State, Ranovstayo has the right, under International Law to

refuse extraditing an asylum-seeker in the absence of compelling evidence that he/she

will be afforded a fair trial and his/her fundamental human rights will never be violated.
Furthermore, Ranovstayo was only compliant of its international human rights
obligations provided in Universal Declaration of Human Rights Articles 14 and 19 and its
covenant in the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights which recognizes
the freedom of everyone to leave each country including his own, and the right to hold
opinions without interference and right to freedom of expression which also include
freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds through any other
media of his choice. Ranovstayo was also committed to safeguard everyone’s right to
non-refoulement and protection of whistleblowers who bravely expose relevant
information to protect public interest. Vormund, as a whistleblower has the right to seek
and be granted a diplomatic asylum for humanitarian reasons. Thus, Ranovstayo did
not violate any international law by refusing to surrender Ms. Vormund to Aprepluyan
authorities because doing so, will constitute breach to our covenants and gross violation
of human rights and international law.
