ICJ rejects emergency measures against Ecuador in Mexican embassy raid case
Al Jazeera
Mexico has urged that Ecuador be suspended from the UN in the wake of its April storming of the Mexican embassy in Quito.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has declined to order Ecuador to protect Mexico’s embassy, following a raid last month on the building in Quito.
Mexico had filed the complaint against Ecuador at the United Nations’ top court in the wake of the April 5 raid. Ecuadorian police had stormed the compound, in what many considered to be a breach of diplomatic conventions, to arrest former Vice President Jorge Glas.
Mexico’s complaint said that Ecuador’s actions had violated its sovereignty. It called for Quito to issue an apology or face suspension from the UN.
While a ruling on that complaint is expected to take years, in the short term, Mexico also asked the court to order Ecuador to take “appropriate and immediate steps to provide full protection and security of diplomatic premises” and prevent any further intrusions.
But on Thursday, International Court of Justice President Nawaf Salam said that Ecuador had already made pledges that “encompass the concerns expressed by Mexico”.
