Andorra Supports Survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Crimes in the Central African Republic with a New Contribution to the Trust Fund for Victims
The Principality of Andorra, a State Party to the International Criminal Court (ICC), has made a voluntary contribution of EUR 10,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) in 2025, reaffirming its commitment to international justice and the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute. Andorra’s contribution is earmarked for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the Central African Republic, strengthening the TFV programme that provides integrated services, including medical care, trauma counselling, education, and socio-economic support.
Welcoming the contribution, Mr Andres Parmas, Chair of the Board of Directors of the TFV, stated: “I wish to express my appreciation to Andorra for its remarkably consistent support and voluntary contributions to the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC. This support strengthens our ability to respond to the harms suffered by survivors of sexual and gender-based violence under the Rome Statute. It is a clear reflection of Andorra’s sustained commitment to international justice, and we encourage other States to follow Andorra’s lead in bringing hope to affected communities.”
H.E. Mr Vicenç Mateu Zamora, Ambassador of the Principality of Andorra to the European Union, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, added: “For more than a decade, Andorra has demonstrated its firm commitment to the International Criminal Court through sustained voluntary contributions, including in support of the Trust Fund for Victims. We highly value the TFV’s work in addressing the consequences of crimes under the Rome Statute and in providing meaningful support to survivors, particularly those affected by sexual and gender-based violence. Through this continued engagement, Andorra reaffirms its solidarity with victims and its support for the Trust Fund for Victims’ programmes, including in priority contexts for Andorra’s development cooperation.”
The Principality of Andorra has consistently supported programmes implemented by the Trust Fund for Victims for the benefit of victims through sustained voluntary contributions since 2008, underscoring its long-standing commitment to victim-centred justice.
