Embassy of Mexico in Quito (Mexico v. Ecuador) Request for the indication of provisional measures The Court finds that the circumstances do not require the exercise of its power to indicate provisional measures

DECLARATION OF JUDGE CLEVELAND

DECLARATION OF JUDGE GÓMEZ ROBLEDO
[Translation]
1. I voted in favour of the Order on the indication of provisional measures because I recognize the importance of the assurances provided by Ecuador to Mexico. These unilaterally expressed assurances are binding on Ecuador and create legal obligations, as stated in paragraph 33 of the Order. In that same paragraph, the Court further noted that the assurances were “formulated in an unconditional manner” and that Ecuador’s “good faith in complying with [them]” is to be presumed.
