Sudan fails in attempt to make UAE accountable for acts of genocide

The UAE claims a diplomatic victory by having the Sudanese government reject an ICJ ruling that it had no jurisdiction over weapons supplies to Rapid Support Forces in West Darfur, despite international criticism of its broad exceptions under Article IX of the Genocide Convention. The move is seen as an attempt to sidestep accountability and divert attention from prolonging the conflict, while influential states like the UK are urging a more reactive approach within international legal processes rather than through blanket reservations.
