The Republic of Malta, a State Party to the International Criminal Court (ICC) since 2002, has made a voluntary contribution of EUR 20,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV), reaffirming its principled commitment to international justice and to the rights and dignity of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute.
Welcoming the contribution, H.E. Kevin Kelly, Member of the Board of Directors of the TFV, stated: “I would like to express our sincere appreciation to Malta for its continued generosity. Malta has provided consistent support since 2021, and this dedication strengthens our collective efforts to deliver meaningful relief and restore dignity to victims of Rome Statute crimes.”
H.E. Jeffrey Curmi, Ambassador of Malta to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, underlined Malta’s strong political commitment to victim-centred justice, stating: “I wish to reiterate Malta’s unwavering support for the International Criminal Court. As the only permanent and independent international criminal court, the ICC serves as a beacon of hope and justice for victims worldwide. Malta fully recognises the enduring importance of placing victims at the heart of international criminal justice. Our support for the Trust Fund for Victims is therefore not merely a financial contribution, but a reaffirmation of our principled commitment to stand with survivors and to support the Court’s efforts to deliver reparative justice that restores dignity and hope to those who have suffered the most serious violations of international law.”
Malta has provided voluntary contributions to the ICC Trust Fund for Victims every year since 2021, demonstrating a consistent and values-driven commitment to supporting victims and strengthening the impact of the ICC’s reparative mandate.
