THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The top United Nations court declined Thursday to immediately order Ecuador to protect Mexican diplomatic property following the storming of Mexico's embassy in Quito to arrest a former vice president.
He said that given Ecuador's assurances, “the court considers that there is at present no urgency” requiring preliminary orders. At a hearing late last month, Alejandro Celorio Alcantara, legal adviser for Mexico’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, told International Court of Justice judges that Ecuador's actions overstepped “lines in international law which should not be crossed.”
The case will likely take years to resolve. In the meantime, Mexico 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. It also wanted Ecuador to let Mexico clear its diplomatic premises and the homes of its diplomats in the country.
