safe passage
Guaranteed unharmed travel
Safe passage is guaranteed protection while traveling through dangerous or controlled territory.
The phrase implies an agreement—often formal—that someone will not be harmed or detained during transit: The embassy arranged safe passage for refugees fleeing the conflict.
It appears in diplomatic contexts, war zones, and historical accounts of travelers crossing hostile lands.
