The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague started its first hearings on Thursday in the case filed by the Sudanese army against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in which Khartoum accuses Abu Dhabi of complicity in violating the Genocide Convention.
According to Sudan’s official news agency SUNA, Sudan alleges that the UAE provided key logistical and direct support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which allegedly perpetrated acts of genocide including killing, rape, forced displacement, looting, and destruction of public property.
The UAE firmly denies these accusations, calling them completely baseless and lacking any legal or factual foundation, according to the official Emirati news agency WAM.
WAM further said that the Sudanese army filed the lawsuit without any legal basis, accusing the UAE of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention, to attacks carried out by the RSF and allied factions against the Massalit ethnic group in West Darfur in 2023.
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, signed in 1948, was the first human rights treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, reflecting the international community’s commitment to preventing such atrocities from happening again.
