THE HAGUE - The World Court said on Friday it would hear a case brought by Sudan demanding emergency measures against the United Arab Emirates and accusing the Gulf state of violating obligations under the Genocide Convention by arming paramilitary forces.

There was no immediate reaction from the United Arab Emirates which had said this month it would seek to get Sudan's case dismissed, and that the legal complaint lacked "any legal or factual basis".
