The Trust Fund for Victims at the International Criminal Court announced that the Government of Malta, a State Party to the ICC since 2002, renewed its voluntary contribution to the TFV for a total amount of EUR 20,000. This unrestricted contribution will be used to redress the harm suffered by victims of Rome Statute crimes, through reparations awards ordered by the ICC and other programs for their benefit.
“The TFV Board of Directors extends its heartfelt gratitude to Malta for its generous contribution, underscoring the importance of global collaboration in addressing the harm endured by victims of Rome Statute crimes,” said Kevin Kelly, member of the Board of Directors, representing the Western European and Other States Group. “Malta’s dedication strengthens efforts to deliver reparative justice, bringing meaningful relief to victims within harmed communities.”
The Republic of Malta has been consistently supporting the programs for the benefit of victims implemented by the Trust Fund for Victims since 2021.
H.E. Mr. Jeffrey Curmi, Ambassador of Malta to the Kingdom of the Netherlands said, “The Republic of Malta is a committed advocate of the International Criminal Court and its Trust Fund for Victims. At such a delicate junction, Malta stands firm in its support which is aimed at ensuring that the International Criminal Court will continue to provide its unique service towards the international multilateral framework by addressing the gravest international crimes and delivering justice. ”
Within this context Ambassador Curmi noted that “Malta acknowledges the importance of pursuing a victim-centered approach. As such, Malta’s voluntary contribution is primarily aimed at assisting the Trust Fund for Victims in its noble mission to deliver reparative justice by empowering victims and communities.”
