# The International Court of Justice has dismissed Sudan’s case to make the United Arab Emirates legally accountable for acts of genocide in West Darfur. Sudan filed its case against the UAE in March, accusing it of arming the Rapid Support Forces in the Sudanese civil war. Sudan descended into a deadly conflict in mid-April 2023 when long-simmering tensions between the military and the RSF broke out. The ICJ ruled that the case could not proceed because the UAE had opted out of the Genocide Convention.
