Mr Andres Parmas, Chair of the Board of Directors of the TFV, “I wish to express my appreciation to Andorra for the 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 SGBV survivors 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 stated, “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”.

Background information about the Trust Fund for Victims
Voluntary contributions to the Trust Fund for Victims ensure the delivery of the reparative mandate of the International Criminal Court by funding services and activities that provide recognition, commemoration and material support through rehabilitative programmes.
The TFV appeals to States Parties and other entities to contribute to the delivery of reparations to victims in dire need, particularly in relation to the Ntaganda and Ongwen cases. The annual programme funding target of the TFV is set at a minimum of EUR 10 million.
Contributions to the Trust Fund for Victims qualify as Official Development Assistance (ODA)-eligible. TFV programmes for the benefit of victims of crimes under the jurisdiction of the ICC contribute to the broader impact of several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16), poverty reduction (SDG 1), good health and well-being (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), reduced inequalities (SDG 10) and climate action (SDG 13).
