Mexico Seeks Regional Support for ICJ Lawsuit Against Ecuador Following Embassy Raid

Mexico's diplomatic tensions with Ecuador escalate after the forcible removal of Jorge Glas from its embassy, prompting legal action and widespread international condemnation.

Mexico has rallied regional support for an International Court of Justice lawsuit against Ecuador following a controversial raid on its embassy in Quito, which resulted in the detention of former Vice President Jorge Glas.
Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa's administration justified the raid as necessary to prevent 'impunity,' despite international criticism for violating diplomatic norms.
The raid has drawn global condemnation, with many countries and international bodies deeming it a breach of the Vienna Convention and the 1954 Convention on Diplomatic Asylum.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has severed diplomatic relations with Ecuador, releasing footage of the raid that shows Ecuadorian security forces forcibly removing Glas.
The incident has sparked a broader debate on Ecuador's adherence to international law, amidst domestic pressures including a proposed referendum to increase security measures against crime.
