Abstract
Diplomatic asylum is not part of general international law, although it has purportedly acquired a regional legal dimension in Latin America. Yet, even that regional legal dimension is inchoate. After the 2024 Ecuador-Mexico diplomatic asylum crisis, the International Court of Justice now has an opportunity to decide the fate of diplomatic asylum in the light of general international law. However, the International Court of Justice, as a conservative institution that focuses upon positive international law, is not expected to make any innovations in respect of the current state of diplomatic asylum within general international law. In the near future, diplomatic asylum is to remain a matter for international politics, international comity and diplomacy.
