ICJ convenes today to rule on Sudan case

SUDANESE ARMED FORCES LEVELLED BASELESS ALLEGATIONS AGAINST UAE

- BY ABDULLA RASHEED

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, Netherlands, is set to convene its highly anticipated session today to issue a ruling in the case filed by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) against the UAE.

The SAF has accused the UAE without any legal basis or factual evidence — of violating its obligations under the Genocide Convention in relation to attacks allegedly carried out by the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied factions against the Masalit ethnic group in West Darfur.

This coincides with the release of the UN Security Council’s final report on Sudan, which exposes the grave violations committed by all warring parties against civilians and refutes the baseless allegations levelled by the SAF against the UAE.
