Government of Ecuador violates international law
In the message, the Nicaraguan diplomat said that “everything done by the Government of Ecuador violates International Law. It has become a transgressive Government, by disrespecting and failing to comply with the obligations regarding privileges and immunities of Diplomats, established in the Vienna Convention, lending itself to imperial interests to prevent the consolidation of the C elac.
“It is inadmissible for a government of our region and our organization to act in this way, tarnishing the National Sovereignty of another Latin American Country, breaking the international instruments on the historic Right of Asylum, incurring a violation of International Law in its entirety. We have seen with dismay, through videos, how unusual barbarism and violence tainted Mexican Sovereignty,” he emphasized.
