The Ecuadorian Constitutional Court has ruled that two military agreements between Ecuador and the U.S., signed in 2023 by then-President GuillermoLasso, do not require National Assembly approval.

Ecuador will give up the right to prosecute infractions by U.S. military or civilian personnel, allow the U.S. to exercise criminal jurisdiction over its personnel, exempt U.S. Department of Defense personnel from paying taxes in Ecuador, and grant freedom of movement for the U.S. military.

Ecuador also commits to waiving legal actions in the event of claims against U.S. personnel
