(12,792 posts)this is all part of the diplomatic process. It's not that Ecuador distrusts Sweden to ever follow its own laws in every case. They are just, in as diplomatic a way possible, making sure that they are aware of the law in this specific case, and are requesting reassurance.
When a case is brought before a judge, the judge is not expected to be an expert on the law surrounding the case. It is the job of the attorneys to make the judge aware of every legal angle that is relevent to either the defense or the prosecution. I believe it is a similar situation where diplomats are bringing this concern before the government of Sweden, which might then consult with its own legal experts, and generate their own legal response.
If this is wasting your time then please don't bother to respond.
