We're all human, yet around the world minority groups are discriminated, demonised, dehumanised, their rights eroded. This isn't a new. It is predictable. It's also preventable. We strengthen rights and resilience to prevent. @Mariana Goetz

Please don't anyone get sucked into doing a proper legal analysis of this. It will be thrown out immediately for the reservation point Mike notes below. BUT ALSO this is a bad faith effort to use the court as part of the ongoing war between the Sudan govt that filed this & the RSF
Before people get too drawn into this, there is a significant jurisdictional obstacle here for #Sudan: #UAE made a reservation to Article IX when acceding to the #GenocideConvention. In other words, the UAE does *not* consent to #ICJ jurisdiction over Genocide Convention disputes.

For 30+ years, Eastern Congo has been at war—a war fueled by greed – where rape is used to terrorise communities. Panzi Hospital has provided care to over 83k survivors. But today, it is under threat. We demand protection for civilians and Panzi. Stop the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war!

The Ali-Kusheyb Trial at the ICC has ended. What does it mean for Victims?
Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman, also known as Ali Kushayb, was a senior commander of the Janjaweed militia that operated during the notorious Darfur genocide 20 years ago. Ali Kushayb supported the Sudanese government against Darfur rebel groups during al-Bashir’s presidency and was accused of widespread atrocity crimes. In 2007 he was indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), along with other persons including former President Omar Al-Bashir. Ali Kushayb surrendered himself to the C
