The top United Nations court is set to rule on an urgent request by Mexico to order Ecuador to protect Mexican diplomatic property in the aftermath of the storming of the embassy in Quito to arrest a former vice president.
Ecuador ’s ambassador Andres Teran Parral reads a statement outside the International Court of Justice, or World Court, in The Hague, Netherlands, Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Mexico is taking Ecuador to the United Nations’ top court on Tuesday accusing the nation of violating international law by storming into the Mexican embassy in Quito on April 5, and arresting former Ecuador Vice President Jorge Glas , who had been holed up there seeking asylum in Mexico .
Thursday’s hearing comes at a preliminary phase of a case filed by Mexico accusing Ecuador of breaching international law and asking the court to suspend Ecuador as member of the United Nations until the country issues “a public apology recognizing its violations to the fundamental principles and norms of international law” and agrees to reparations.
The case will likely take years to resolve. In the meantime, Mexico wants 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. It also wants Ecuador to let Mexico clear its diplomatic premises and the homes of its diplomats in the country.
He also said that the ICJ doesn’t need to act now because Quito has already complied with the measures sought by Mexico.
