The UN's top court has dismissed Sudan's case against the UAE accusing the Gulf state of complicity in genocide.
Sudan alleged the UAE supported the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the Sudanese civil war, in which tens of thousands of people have died, forced millions from their homes and left many facing famine.
The UAE categorically denied the accusations, branding the case "political theatre" and "a cynical publicity stunt".
The International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled that the case could not proceed because the UAE had opted out Article 9 of the Genocide Convention, which means that it cannot be sued by other states over genocide allegations.
