After castigating Ecuador for flouting its commitment to an international pact, Canada still plans to move forward with trade negotiations with Quito, maintaining that talks are a forum to spotlight the need to adhere to a country’s legal pledges. Earlier this month, Ecuadorian authorities raided the Mexican Embassy in Quito to arrest Jorge Glas, who served as vice president of Ecuador from 2013 to 2017. Glas was seeking political asylum in the embassy.
“And they are thumbing their nose to long-standing international obligations.” Price said the raid calls into question Ecuador’s commitment to human rights and the rules-based international order, remarking that there are added concerns that are ongoing—far from the eyes of the Mexican Embassy's security cameras—in isolated parts of the country where there have increasingly been allegations of Ecuador failing to safeguard Indigenous rights.
