Last Monday, the pro tempore president of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), Xiomara Castro, announced that she will convene a summit of heads of state to address the diplomatic crisis between Ecuador and Mexico following the assault on the Embassy in Quito.

According to a Telesur publication, the meeting is scheduled to be held virtually on Friday, April 12 at 10:00 (local time) in Honduras, to define “actions” with the purpose of requiring the Government of Ecuador to “rectify” it for breaking into Mexico's diplomatic headquarters in Quito by force last Friday.

The summit plans to “review the consensus rule contained in chapter II of the Manual of Procedures for the organic functioning of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and that decision-making mechanisms can be adopted in (the) CELAC in the following modalities: simple majority, qualified majority and consensus”.
