Mexico to take violation of its embassy in Ecuador to the ICJ. Mexico announced its intention to seize the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the highest judicial body of the United Nations, on Monday.

“We believe we can win our case quickly,” declared the head of Mexican diplomacy Alicia Bárcena. The intrusion, without recent precedent in the world, of Ecuadorian police officers into the Mexican embassy in Quito to arrest the former Ecuadorian vice-president accused of corruption, sparked a barrage of criticism.
