Sudan has accused the UAE of violating the Genocide Convention by arming the RSF, engaging in severe human rights violations against the Masalit people, and the UAE plans to dismiss the allegations.
Sudan’s military leadership has lodged a formal complaint with the International Court of Justice, accusing the United Arab Emirates of violating the Genocide Convention by providing support to the rebel group known as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). In this complaint, Sudan alleges that the RSF, along with its allied groups, has engaged in acts classified as genocide, including murder, property theft, rape, forced displacement, and other severe human rights violations, specifically against the Masalit community. In response, the UAE has announced plans to pursue an immediate dismissal of Sudan’s allegations.
In light of recent developments, Sudan’s accusation against the UAE illustrates the escalating tensions in the region regarding armed conflict and accusations of human rights violations. The formal complaint underscores the severity of the situation faced by vulnerable communities in Sudan and raises questions about international accountability for alleged support of violent factions.
