Mexico to file lawsuit with ICJ on Apr 8 over storming of its embassy

Mexico City, Apr 8 (UNI) The Mexican government on Monday will appeal to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) with a complaint against the storming of the Mexican embassy in Ecuador by the local police, Mexican Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena said.
In the night from Friday to Saturday, the Ecuadorian police stormed the Mexican embassy in Quito using armed vehicles to arrest former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been sheltering in the diplomatic mission for a long time, media reported. Following the events, Mexico City suspended diplomatic ties with Quito, saying that some Mexican diplomats had been injured as a result of the storming. Mexico City also vowed to appeal to the UN International Court of Justice and urge it to condemn the actions of the Ecuadorian authorities.
"Tomorrow we will appeal to the International Court, where we will present this sad case. And of course, we will go to all relevant multilateral, regional and international platforms so that this incident is condemned by the entire international community," Barcena said during a press conference on Sunday.
