Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa got away with a diplomatic slap on the wrist from the Organization of American States after raiding the Mexican embassy in the capital.

OAS member states, in a resolution Wednesday, “energetically condemned” the Ecuadorian national police’s violent entry into the colonial-style Quito mansion on April 5 to arrest a fugitive politician. Former Vice President Jorge Glas had been sheltering on the premises.
