Mexico threatened Thursday to take Bolivia to the International Court of Justice over what it calls harassment of its diplomatic mission in La Paz, after its embassy took in some 20 officials from the former government.

The two countries have been in a spiraling spat since
Mexico granted asylum to Bolivian ex-president Evo Morales after he resigned on November 10 in the face of mass
protests and sheltered top officials from his leftist government at its embassy.
Mexico accuses Bolivia of responding with a campaign of "harassment and intimidation" by deploying a large contingent of
police and intelligence officers outside the embassy.
