THE HAGUE — Mexico told judges at the International Court of Justice on Tuesday that an armed raid on its embassy in Quito by Ecuador breached international law.The case centers on the dramatic arrest of Ecuador's former vice president Jorge Glas, twice convicted of corruption and facing fresh charges, who had been living in the Mexican embassy since December. He was seized on April 5 in a raid by Ecuadorean police shortly after Mexico granted him asylum status.
He said the case was not only important to Mexico but to the international community as a whole, with the immunity of diplomats and diplomatic premises a cornerstone of relations between countries.Mexico filed a case with the ICJ, the UN's top court, within days of the raid, demanding that the court suspend Ecuador from the United Nations unless and until it issued a public apology and offered reparations for the harm suffered.
