Sudan has filed a case against the UAE at the World Court, alleging support for the RSF and violations of the Genocide Convention during attacks in West Darfur. The UAE plans to dismiss the case, asserting it lacks merit. This legal action highlights ongoing tensions and accusations in the Sudanese civil conflict.
Sudan has initiated legal proceedings against the United Arab Emirates at the International Court of Justice, alleging that the UAE has armed the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and violated obligations under the Genocide Convention in relation to recent attacks in West Darfur state. The court confirmed this development on Thursday.
In response, an official from the UAE stated that they would seek an immediate dismissal of the case, arguing that it lacks both “any legal or factual basis.” The Sudanese foreign ministry has not yet commented on the situation, although Sudanese authorities have previously accused the UAE of supporting the RSF, which has been engaged in a nearly two-year-long civil conflict.
The legal proceedings initiated by Sudan against the UAE at the World Court represent a significant escalation in international legal actions regarding the ongoing conflict in Sudan. The UAE’s candid denial of the allegations and characterization of the case as a publicity stunt further complicate the diplomatic relations between the two nations. The unfolding situation warrants close attention, given the implications for regional stability and international law enforcement.
