Organizational context:

The Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) was created by the Rome Statute (Art 79) as an independent non- judicial institution next to the ICC. It is governed by a Board of Directors, elected every three years by the Assembly of States Parties.  The Board is supported by a Secretariat, ensuring daily management of the TFV’s activities. 

 

The TFV has been entrusted by the Assembly with two main mandates: (i)  to implement Court- ordered reparations to victims in a convicted  case; and (ii)  to provide assistance to victims and their families in ICC situation countries with physical and psychological rehabilitation and material support. 

 

The mission of the TFV is to respond to the harm resulting from the crimes under the jurisdiction of  the Court by ensuring the rights of victims and their families through the provision of reparations and assistance.

2.            Facilitate assistance and reparations by ensuring financial growth and sustainability;

3.            Advocate for the rights of victims in the international public domain;

4.            Ensure good governance, accountability and transparency by creating an effective organisational structure.

 

The TFV has ambitious goals to raise its visibility and advocate to repair the harm experienced by the victims of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. The TFV welcomes financial contributions from governments, private individuals, foundations, corporations and other entities, and use these voluntary contributions to fund projects that benefit the victims and help rebuild communities.
