About the Incident
On April 30, the Government of Mexico presented a complaint to the ICJ, accusing Ecuador of not respecting international law and of showing “deliberate negligence” towards the people who were in the diplomatic compound.
Mexico requested the ICJ to take precautionary measures to guarantee the security of diplomatic facilities and archives in Ecuador, demanding Quito provide protection and security to the assets of the Mexican Embassy.
Ecuador’s Response to the Ruling
Following the resolution of the International Court of Justice, Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry celebrated the unanimous decision that confirmed the unnecessary nature of Mexico’s request.
