Mexico’s president said Thursday his country is demanding that the United Nations expel Ecuador from the world body as part of a complaint to the top U.N. court over Ecuador’s police raid last week on the Mexican Embassy in Quito.
Tensions between Mexico and Ecuador have soared since late last week when Ecuadorian authorities forced their way into the diplomatic mission to arrest Ecuador’s former Vice President Jorge Glas, who had been holed up there seeking asylum in Mexico.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said his country has filed a complaint at the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands asking the U.N. to expel Ecuador.
“The Court, in accordance with the United Nations charter, should approve the expulsion, and there should be no veto” from the U.N. Security Council, López Obrador said.
López Obrador also said Mexico is demanding a public apology from Ecuador for last week’s raid, reparation of damages and a promise not to do it again. Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Gabriela Sommerfeld said her country would defend its actions and said an apology “is not something that is under discussion at this moment.”
The two countries have been tussling over Glas, a convicted criminal and fugitive, since he took refuge at Mexico’s embassy in December.
Ecuador has argued that Glas has been targeted for crimes, not for political reasons, and that Mexico should not have been considering asylum for him. On April 5, Ecuadorean police scaled the embassy walls and broke into the building.
Roberto Canseco, Mexico’s head of consular affairs and the highest ranking diplomat present since Ecuador expelled the ambassador earlier in the week, tried to keep them from entering, even pushing a large cabinet in front of a door. But police restrained him and pushed him to the floor as they carried Glas out.
Mexico, as well as foreign experts, said it appeared to be a blatant violation of international accords. Mexico broke off diplomatic relations with the country in response. Leaders across Latin America condemned Ecuador’s actions as a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

Israel recently bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria. And the US once bombed a Chinese embassy. Is anyone calling for them to be expelled?
Oh my, get expelled from a useless organization (club) that has done absolutely nothing to keep the Nations United, but has done everything to promote it’s self serving agendas since it’s inception, after the League of Nations was dissolved for preventing “war” (arranged conflicts). The UN CORP. was chartered 1943 before the The United Nations existed, sounds strange right?, go figure…a store front look-a-like? Repeat after me, “crime syndicate” over again as necessary.
