The Kingdom of Spain, a State Party to the International Criminal Court (ICC) since 2000, has made voluntary contributions totalling EUR 340,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) in 2025, reaffirming its strong commitment to international justice and to the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute.

Spain’s contribution—currently the second largest received in 2025—is unrestricted and will support efforts to redress the harm suffered by victims through the implementation of reparations ordered by the ICC, as well as programmes aimed at their rehabilitation and well-being.

Welcoming the contribution, H.E. Mr. Kevin Kelly, Member of the Board of Directors of the TFV, stated: “Spain has been a steadfast supporter of the Trust Fund for Victims, and its commitment to international justice is truly commendable. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I warmly welcome Spain’s contributions and encourage other States to follow its example in strengthening support for victims of the most serious crimes.”

H.E. Mrs. María Consuelo Femenia Guardiola, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, added: “Spain reaffirms its strong commitment to the work of the Trust Fund for Victims. Providing reparations, assistance, and support to victims is essential in the fight against impunity, in ensuring accountability for the most serious crimes, and in strengthening the international criminal justice system as a whole.”

Spain has provided regular voluntary contributions to the Trust Fund for Victims since 2006 and is currently its seventh-largest donor, with total contributions exceeding EUR 3.3 million—demonstrating its sustained commitment to supporting victims of international crimes.
