The International Court of Justice threw out Sudan's attempt to hold the United Arab Emirates accountable for allegedly breaching the Genocide Convention by supporting paramilitary forces in Sudan's civil war.
The Hague-based U.N.'s top court, which was set up to hear disputes between nations, ruled on Monday that it "manifestly lacked" jurisdiction over the case. Sudan alleged the U.A.E. has been illegally arming and funding the rebel paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in the civil war, which has killed tens of thousands of people and forced millions of others to flee.
