WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will leave the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he took refuge in June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, and accept arrest on Friday if a UN panel investigating his case rules against him, he said in a statement.
British police said on Thursday they will arrest Assange if he leaves the embassy.
Assange, 44, is wanted in Sweden for questioning over allegations of rape in 2010 which the Australian denies.
