The top United Nations court has dismissed a case brought by Sudan accusing the United Arab Emirates of breaching the genocide convention by arming and funding the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan’s deadly civil war.

The UN's top court has dismissed Sudan's case against the UAE accusing the Gulf state of complicity in genocide. Sudan alleged the UAE supported the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Sudanese civil war, in which tens of thousands of people have died, forced millions from their homes and left many facing famine.

Sudan had requested urgent measures to halt violence against the Masalit ethnic group but the UAE rejected the case as legally unfounded and politically motivated. View on euronews
