The International Court of Justice (ICJ) rejected Sudan's case against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which accused the UAE of supporting genocide through its backing of paramilitary forces during Sudan's civil war. The court ruled by a significant margin that it has no jurisdiction in such matters, primarily due to the UAE opting out of a critical provision of the 1948 Genocide Convention. Therefore, Sudan's requests for provisional measures and the case itself were dismissed without addressing the allegations.
The International Court of Justice dismissed Sudan's case against the U.A.E. for alleged genocide support, ruling it lacked jurisdiction under the 1948 Genocide Convention.
Despite Sudan's allegations of U.A.E.'s involvement in genocide, the court's 14-2 vote emphasized that it manifestly lacked the authority to hear the case.
