Mexico Severs Diplomatic Ties with Ecuador Following Embassy Raid

The extraordinary raid by Ecuadorian police on Mexico's embassy in Quito to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas has led to a breakdown in diplomatic relations.

Diplomatic relations between Mexico and Ecuador have been severed after Ecuadorian police raided Mexico's embassy in Quito, arresting former Vice President Jorge Glas.
The raid, violating international laws and the Vienna Convention, has sparked outrage across the Americas, with leaders condemning the breach of Mexican sovereignty.
Jorge Glas, convicted on corruption charges, was seeking asylum at the embassy since December before his arrest, raising questions about the use of diplomatic asylum.
Mexico plans to challenge the raid at the World Court in The Hague, citing violations of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
The incident has heightened tensions in a region already dealing with political instability and has drawn international attention to the use of force in diplomatic spaces.
