Mexico and Ecuador's dispute with Russia in the background [COMMENTARY].

The intrusion of the host country's police into a diplomatic facility is undoubtedly a violation of fundamental principles of global law. **This refers not only to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, but besides to the 1954 Caracas Convention signed by 14 Latin American countries, including Mexico and Ecuador**. The Vienna Convention guarantees the inviolability of diplomatic missions, which is absolute, i.e. no violation of global law (especially interference in the interior affairs of the host state) authorizes its violation. This is simply a very serious global tort, and the functional dimension of this rule (relativizing the inviolability of representations would impede diplomatic relations) has resulted in it being violated only a fistful of times in the past of planet diplomacy.
