Mexico Takes Ecuador to International Court Over Embassy Raid

Mexico accuses Ecuador of violating international law by storming its embassy in Quito to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas.

Mexico has taken Ecuador to the International Court of Justice, accusing it of violating international law by raiding its embassy in Quito.
The raid occurred after Mexico granted asylum to Jorge Glas, a former Ecuadorian Vice President convicted of corruption.
Latin American leaders and international bodies have condemned the raid, citing violations of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
Ecuador has countered by filing a case at the ICJ, accusing Mexico of misusing its embassy to shield Glas from legal proceedings.
Preliminary hearings at the ICJ are focused on Mexico’s request for provisional measures to protect its diplomatic premises while the case progresses.
