During last month's ICJ hearing, the UAE described the case as an attempt by one of the parties to the conflict — the Sudanese Armed Forces — to deflect attention from its own responsibilities in the ongoing war.
The Emirates argued that the legal move was meant to generate media distraction rather than address the root causes of the conflict, reiterating the country's steadfast support for peace and stability in Sudan.
