QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador announced Monday it has filed a complaint at the top U.N. court against Mexico over its decision to grant political asylum to a former Ecuadorian vice president, which led to Ecuador’s highly criticized raid on the Mexican Embassy earlier this month.
Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the complaint at the International Court of Justice cites Mexico’s government because of its move to grant asylum to former Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been convicted of corruption.
Mexico failed to comply with “its obligations not to grant asylum to people who are being prosecuted or on trial for common crimes or have been convicted by competent ordinary courts,” the statement said. The ministry did not immediately provide a copy of the complaint to The Associated Press.
Police raided Mexico’s embassy April 5 and arrested Glas hours after he was granted political asylum in an extremely rare show of force that legal experts, presidents elsewhere in Latin America and diplomats deemed a violation of long-established international accords.
