Abstract

This essay examines how granting political asylum to people persecuted by governments, sentenced for corruption or political ideologies puts bilateral relations with other nations at risk, and may have repercussions on bilateral trade, expulsion of ambassadors, suspension on free trade and invest agreements, among other actions that the governments in dispute could adopt. This study focuses on the crisis with Mexico on april 5h, 2024, in which law enforcement forces broke into the mexican embassy to arrest former vice president Jorge Glass. It also compares the history of other diplomatic crises with Colombia, Cuba and the Julian Assange case, in addition to analyzing the commercial relationship with Mexico from 2013 to 2023.
