The Hague, April 19 (RHC)-- The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has announced that hearings are scheduled for April 30th and May 1st, where the lawsuit of Mexico against Ecuador, for the assault on its embassy in Quito, will be tried.

According to the ICJ at The Hague, on both days the "request for indication of provisional measures contained in Mexico's request" will be processed.  On the first day, the Mexican side will defend its claim, followed by Ecuador the next day.

In the document, the Government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador demands the court that, while the final judgment of the case is declared, Ecuador provides "full protection and security of diplomatic headquarters, its property and archives."  

Mexico is also requesting that Ecuador allow it to "vacate diplomatic facilities and the private residence of diplomatic agents."  And Mexico has requested that Ecuador be advised to "refrain from any act or conduct that could aggravate or widen the dispute before the Court."

On April 5th, Ecuadorian police officers forcibly entered the Mexican Embassy in Quito, with the purpose of arresting former Vice President Jorge Glas.

This was the reason for the rupture of diplomatic relations on the part of the Government of López Obrador and the filing of a complaint by Mexico against Ecuador before the ICJ.
