The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Thursday rejected the request for provisional measures submitted by Mexico in the case concerning the Embassy of Mexico in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, indicating that there is no serious and irreparable risk against international law.

"THE COURT, Unanimously, Finds that the circumstances, as they now present themselves to the Court, are not such as to require the exercise of its power under Article 41 of the Statute to indicate provisional measures," the ICJ said in a press release. 

Mexico last month asked ICJ judges to issue emergency measures to protect the Mexican diplomatic premises in Quito after Ecuadorian police broke into Mexico's embassy in Quito and arrested former Ecuadorian Vice President Jorge Glas.
