Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa has declared a new security state of emergency on May 22, citing an 'internal armed conflict.' This announcement has led to security force abuses, including at least one apparent extrajudicial killing and multiple cases of arbitrary arrests and ill-treatment. Concurrently, on May 23, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejected Mexico's request for emergency measures against Ecuador. Mexico had accused Ecuador of breaching international law by raiding its embassy in Quito to capture a wanted ex-politician. The ICJ's decision means that Ecuador will not face immediate international legal consequences for the embassy raid.
