In the draft resolution, after paragraph 8, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly notes that the plea agreement states that “[a]s of the date of the Plea Agreement, the United States has not identified any victim qualifying for individual restitution and, thus, is not requesting an order of restitution.” This essential factor must be considered when assessing the proportionality of measures employed against Mr Assange in response to his (and WikiLeaks’) publications."
