Mexico tells World Court Ecuador embassy raid was illegal
Mexico told judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Tuesday that an armed raid on its embassy in Quito by Ecuador breached international law. The case centres 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. "There is no rule under international law that could nullify the inviolability of the embassy of Mexico, and no standard under which the assault could be deemed as a lawful operation," Alejandro Celorio, a legal adviser to Mexico's foreign ministry, said.
