Sudan has filed a case against the UAE at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of breaching the Genocide Convention by arming the RSF, which allegedly perpetrated severe human rights violations against the Masalit people. The UAE has vowed to seek an immediate dismissal of the claims.
Sudan has accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of violating the Genocide Convention by providing arms and funding to the rebel group, Rapid Support Forces (RSF). In its formal complaint filed with the International Court of Justice, Sudan alleges that the RSF and affiliated armed groups committed severe atrocities against the Masalit community. These actions reportedly include genocide, murder, and various human rights violations, prompting Sudan to seek legal redress. In response, the UAE has expressed intentions to secure an immediate dismissal of the allegations.
Sudan’s legal actions against the UAE highlight the ongoing tension and conflict within the region, particularly regarding human rights violations and international accountability. As the situation develops, the outcome of this case may have significant implications for both nations and their roles in the conflict.
