THE Mexican government has made plans to file a complaint at the International Court of Justice against Bolivia’s military-installed regime.
Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said on Boxing Day that a build-up of Bolivian security agents around the Mexican ambassador’s La Paz residence violates international treaties on the rights of diplomatic personnel and installations.
Mr Ebrard said Bolivia’s coup government, which overthrew president Evo Morales last month, appears to be threatening Mexico’s right to give asylum to nine former government officials — and that Bolivia was refusing to allow them to leave the country.
