Sudan Accuses UAE of Complicity in Genocide at World Court

Sudan files a case at the International Court of Justice, alleging the UAE provides financial and military support to the Rapid Support Forces in Darfur.

Sudan has formally accused the UAE of breaching the UN Genocide Convention by supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group blamed for atrocities in Darfur.
The RSF and allied militias have been implicated in genocide, murder, rape, and other crimes targeting the Masalit ethnic group, according to Sudan's ICJ filing.
The UAE denies the allegations, calling the case a 'publicity stunt' and pledging to seek its dismissal while maintaining it has consistently advocated for peace in Sudan.
The conflict between Sudan's army and the RSF has killed tens of thousands, displaced over 12 million people, and prompted famine declarations in parts of the country.
The ICJ rulings are legally binding but unenforceable, and Sudan has requested emergency measures to prevent further violence and secure reparations for victims.
