UN Court Dismisses Sudan’s Genocide Case Against UAE

UN Court Dismisses Sudan's Genocide Case Against UAE
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) dismissed Sudan’s genocide lawsuit against the United Arab Emirates on Friday, blocking Khartoum’s unprecedented attempt to hold a foreign government accountable for allegedly fueling atrocities in Darfur.

In a 14-2 ruling, the Hague-based court declared it lacked jurisdiction because the UAE had previously opted out of Article 9 of the Genocide Convention, which permits interstate lawsuits over genocide allegations.

The decision halts Sudan’s claims that Emirati weapons shipments, mercenary recruitment, and logistical support empowered the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group to commit ethnic cleansing against the Masalit people.

UN Court Dismisses Sudan's Genocide Case Against UAE
UAE’s Reaction to “Decisive” Win Against Sudan

UAE Deputy Assistant Minister Reem Ketait celebrated the verdict as a rejection of what she called Sudan’s “political theatre,” while urging global attention on humanitarian relief for war-torn Sudan.

The case marked a novel legal approach—targeting an alleged atrocity enabler rather than direct perpetrators—but foundered on jurisdictional grounds. Both Sudanese military factions and the RSF face ongoing accusations of mass killings, sexual violence, and starvation tactics in the conflict that has displaced millions.

While the ICJ abstained from judging the merits of Sudan’s allegations, the case underscores how global courts are becoming arenas for geopolitical disputes.

Why It Matters

The failed lawsuit leaves unresolved questions about foreign complicity in the Darfur crisis, even as the UN warns of looming famine. With the UAE’s Article 9 opt-out proving decisive, the ruling may influence how states leverage the Genocide Convention in future conflicts.
