Mexico has filed a case against Ecuador in the International Court of Justice, accusing it of violating diplomatic rights after it raided their embassy to arrest former Vice-President, Jorge Glas. Ecuador has filed a counter-claim saying Mexico is interfering in Ecuadorian sovereignty. So what rights does a nation state have to prosecute people accused of corruption and abuses of power? Is diplomatic asylum being abused in order to avoid being held to account? And when are corruption allegations being misused for political purposes? 

Guest: Eduardo Bohórquez, Executive Director of Transparencia Mexicana – the Mexico Chapter of Transparency International.
