UN’s top court is to rule on Sudan’s request alleging Emiratis funded Sudanese paramilitary forces

  • On May 5, 2025, the International Court of Justice is set to decide on Sudan's request for urgent measures against the United Arab Emirates.
  • In March 2025, Sudan submitted a request to the International Court of Justice alleging that the UAE violated the 1948 genocide convention by providing arms and financial support to Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
  • The conflict stems from deadly fighting since mid-April 2023 between Sudan's military and rival paramilitary groups, including the Rapid Support Forces accused of abuses.
  • The UAE denies involvement and calls the case a "publicity stunt," asserting the court lacks jurisdiction and blaming Sudan's Armed Forces for the conflict.
  • Legal experts say the UAE's caveat to the treaty on genocide makes it unlikely the case will proceed despite evidence conflicting with the UAE's denial.
