Mexico asks UN to expel Ecuador over embassy raid as tensions rise

There is an ongoing diplomatic dispute between Mexico and Ecuador following a raid by Ecuadorian authorities on Mexico's embassy in Quito last week. The incident occurred as Ecuador attempted to arrest Jorge Glas, a former vice president of Ecuador who is wanted on corruption charges. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has filed a complaint with the United Nations and the International Court of Justice, demanding an apology from Ecuador and seeking its expulsion from the UN. Ecuador's Foreign Minister Gabriela Sommerfeld has stated that her country will defend its actions.
