Here we are in the UK, a country some ill-advised folk continue to moan about, where Julian Assange was able to hide away in an embassy for years. Would we ever consider storming another country’s embassy in the UK? hell no!
An embassy is effectively the territory of the country it belongs to.
The response from other countries to this outrage in Ecuador must be swift. Ecuador must be completely isolated until they return the guy they arrested from the Mexican embassy (an ex-Ecuador Vice President they claim embezzled funds etc.) to the embassy, apologise and then seek due process, if they want him handed over to them (a decision that must be up to Mexico, if they wish to grant him asylum, then he must be allowed to remain there)
We seem to be racing off to break down the few remaining norms of a sane society! Vienna convention, human rights charters, the need to outlaw needless war, all seem to be falling apart as the world races towards anarchy! Look at Haiti today…
Knowledge can improve the world we live in
