The International Court of Justice has dismissed Sudan’s case alleging that the United Arab Emirates violated the Genocide Convention by supporting paramilitary forces in the Darfur region.

The International Court of Justice said on Monday it had dismissed Sudan's genocide case against the United Arab Emirates over the UAE's alleged interference in Darfur, saying it lacked authority to rule on the matter.

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.
