World Court throws out Sudan genocide case against UAE, citing lack of jurisdiction
The top United Nations court decides to throw out Sudan’s case against the United Arab Emirates over alleged complicity in genocide during the brutal Sudanese civil war.
Sudan had taken the UAE to the International Court of Justice, saying its alleged support for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) was contributing to a genocide — accusations strongly denied by the Emiratis.
But the ICJ says it “manifestly lacked” jurisdiction to rule on the case and throws out the case.
