THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Judges at the UN’s top court were scheduled Thursday to hand down a decision on Mexico’s request for emergency measures over Quito’s embassy raid last month to snatch a former top Ecuadoran politician.
Judges will give a decision at 1300 GMT on Thursday at the opulent Peace Palace, home of the ICJ. The case proper, however, could still take months, if not years. Mexico is also asking judges to order Ecuador to “refrain from any act or conduct likely to aggravate or widen the dispute of which the Court is seized”.
Mexico based its application on the principles of the UN Charter as well as the 1948 Pact of Bogota — which obliges its signatories to solve disputes through peaceful means — and the 1961 Vienna Convention which guarantees protection for diplomatic staff.
