PORT SUDANS – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has officially announced that it will issue a ruling on Sudan’s case against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday, May 5th.
This comes after the court considered charges related to crimes committed by the Darfur Terrorist Rapid Support Force (RSF) militia, particularly the genocide-related against the Masalit ethnic group in Ergenina, West Darfur.
A court announcement on the official website on Tuesday said, “Sudan v. Application of the Convention on Prevention and Punishment of the United Arab Emirates’ Genocide Crime – Request for Indication of Interim Measures – Court Issuing Orders at 3pm on Monday, May 5, 2025.”
In its first session on April 10, the court ruled that the basis presented by the Sudanian government in its complaints against the UAE provided sufficient indications to advance the case. It also rejected reservations filed in defense by the UAE, describing them as general reservations and urged the court to begin proceedings.
Following the conclusion of the April 10 hearing, the court explained that it would begin deliberation of the case and announced that the decision would be issued in a public session.
