The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has dismissed a case filed by Sudan, which accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of violating the genocide convention by arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) during Sudan's civil war. The court stated it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case, as the UAE has a special exemption under the treaty. While Sudan sought provisional measures against the UAE to prevent violence against the Masalit people, the UAE rejected the claims as baseless and a diversion from the Sudanese Armed Forces' own actions amid escalating conflict since April 2023.
The International Court of Justice ruled it lacked authority to proceed with Sudan's case against the UAE regarding alleged support of rebel forces in Darfur.
Sudan accused the UAE of breaching the genocide convention by funding the Rapid Support Forces, but the court dismissed the case for jurisdictional reasons.
The UAE refuted claims of involvement, calling Sudan's accusations a distraction from its own military's wrongdoing amid ongoing conflicts in the country.
After internal conflicts escalated in April 2023, both military factions have faced allegations of human rights abuses, further complicating the humanitarian crisis.
