Peru Vows To Uphold Mexico’s Embassy Protections As Judge Orders Arrest of Betssy Chávez

Mexico seeks a safe-conduct to transfer the asylee under the 1954 Caracas Convention.

Overview

  • Peru’s foreign ministry told Mexico it will respect diplomatic immunities, confirming the inviolability of Mexican properties in Lima, including the ambassador’s residence.
  • Supreme preparatory judge Juan Carlos Checkley imposed five months of preventive detention on Betssy Chávez and issued national and international arrest warrants.
  • The court cited a palpable risk of flight, noting Chávez stopped weekly biometric check-ins and missed multiple judicial summons.
  • Mexico reiterated its request for a salvoconducto so Chávez, recognized by Mexico as a political asylee, can be transferred to its territory.
  • Peruvian authorities said they will act under international standards in coordination with the foreign ministry, as Colombia’s president warned of consequences for any embassy breach and Peru pursues an OAS debate on the Caracas Convention.
