Sudan Urges ICJ to Act on UAE's Alleged Role in Darfur Genocide

Sudan accuses the UAE of supporting the RSF in ethnic violence against the Masalit, as the ICJ considers emergency measures to halt alleged complicity.

  • Sudan has presented its case to the International Court of Justice, alleging that UAE-backed logistical and military support enables the RSF to commit genocide in Darfur.
  • The UAE denies the accusations, calling the case politically motivated and questioning the ICJ's jurisdiction due to its reservation under the Genocide Convention.
  • Sudan is seeking emergency judicial measures to compel the UAE to cease alleged arms transfers and support for the RSF, citing ongoing atrocities against the Masalit community.
  • Evidence from monitoring groups and U.S. findings suggests UAE-linked arms shipments to the RSF, though the UAE claims these were humanitarian missions.
  • The conflict, which began in April 2023, has led to over 24,000 deaths and displaced more than 14 million people, with both sides accused of severe human rights violations.
