War crimes complaint against RSF has been filed in Kenya
A war crimes complaint against Sudan’s paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been filed in Kenya.
This is the first time in Kenya’s history that a complaint for war crimes and crimes against humanity is being filed under the principle of universal jurisdiction.
This is allowing Kenyan authorities to prosecute crimes committed in another country.
The victims are asking the Kenyan Director of Public Prosecutions to investigate 10 members of the RSF, including some with alleged ties to Kenya, for committing international crimes in and around Khartoum between April 2023 and March 2025.
