The International Court of Justice on Thursday said Sudan has filed a case against the United Arab Emirates for allegedly arming the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF, and violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention in relation to attacks in West Darfur state.

A statement by the United Arab Emirates, said it would seek immediate dismissal of the case, which it said lacked any legal or factual basis.

The Sudanese foreign ministry is yet to make any comment on the issue, however, Sudanese officials have frequently accused the UAE of supporting the RSF, its rivals in an almost two-year civil war.


West Darfur state and its capital Geneina were said to be the site of intense ethnic-based attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and allied Arab militias against the Masalit in 2023.

“According to Sudan, all such acts have been ‘perpetrated and enabled by the direct support given to the rebel RSF militia and related militia groups by the United Arab Emirates,” the World Court said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the UAE said it was aware of the recent application by the Sudanese Armed Force’s representative to the International Court of Justice.
