Summary

Scotland Yard has received a 142-page dossier from London's lawyers detailing alleged war crimes by RSF during Sudan's conflict in Darfur. The evidence includes killings, torture, and mass rapes compiled by international law experts for accountability efforts against RSF leaders. The Met is considering this submission as part of its counter-terrorism command before sending it to the ICC for investigation. This case underscores the dire humanitarian crisis in Sudan with over 150,000 deaths and 12 million displaced, and has added urgency to addressing whether the UAE is complicit in genocide by arming RSF.
