The Czech Republic, a State Party to the International Criminal Court (ICC) since 2009, has made an unrestricted voluntary contribution of EUR 20,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV), reaffirming its steadfast commitment to international justice and the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute.
Mr. Andres Parmas, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC, stated:
“This continued support highlights the Czech Republic’s dedication to addressing the harm endured by victims of Rome Statute crimes. Through this contribution, the Czech Republic demonstrates its commitment to justice and to ensuring that victims of the most horrendous crimes regain their hope, dignity, and ability to rebuild their lives.”
H.E. René Miko, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, remarked:
“I am pleased to announce the Czech Republic’s contribution to the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC. Its mandate to support those who have suffered harm constitutes an inherent component of international law. Reparations and assistance provided by the Trust Fund are vital parts of restorative justice and reconciliation, complementing the role of the International Criminal Court.”
Since 2011, the Czech Republic has consistently supported TFV programmes benefiting victims through sustained and progressively increasing voluntary contributions.
