Sudan Accuses UAE of Genocide in Case Against Rapid Support Forces
Sudan has accused the UAE of breaching the Genocide Convention by funding the RSF, which is implicated in severe human rights violations against the Masalit people. The UAE plans to dismiss the case filed in the International Court of Justice.
Sudan has initiated proceedings at the International Court of Justice, accusing the United Arab Emirates of violating the Genocide Convention by supporting the rebel group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). In its formal complaint, Sudan alleges that the RSF, along with allied armed factions, has committed egregious acts including genocide, murder, theft, rape, forcible displacement, and vandalism against the Masalit population. In response, the UAE intends to seek an immediate dismissal of these allegations.
The dispute between Sudan and the UAE highlights the severity of the humanitarian crisis affecting the Masalit people and the international ramifications of alleged complicity in such atrocities. As Sudan seeks justice through the courts, the outcome may have significant implications for international relations and accountability under the Genocide Convention.
