ICJ Declines Mexico's Request for Emergency Measures Against Ecuador

The court ruled that Ecuador's assurances to protect the Mexican embassy address immediate concerns, while the broader case continues.

  • The ICJ rejected Mexico's plea for immediate protective measures for its embassy in Quito.
  • Ecuador's raid on the Mexican embassy to arrest ex-Vice President Jorge Glas sparked the legal dispute.
  • Mexico sought to suspend Ecuador from the UN and demanded a public apology.
  • Ecuador's counter-complaint accuses Mexico of misusing its diplomatic mission to shield a criminal.
  • The broader case on the legality of the raid and diplomatic protections may take years to resolve.
