The Netherlands-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Monday dismissed Sudan’s claim that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had fueled genocide in Darfur.

On Monday, however, the judges sided with the UAE, accepting its arguments that the UN court “manifestly lacked” jurisdiction to rule on the case.
