Belgium, a State Party to the International Criminal Court (ICC), has made a voluntary contribution of EUR 60,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) in 2025, reaffirming its commitment to international justice and to the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute.
This unrestricted funding will support efforts to redress the harm suffered by victims of Rome Statute crimes through the implementation of reparations awards ordered by the ICC, as well as other programmes aimed at their rehabilitation and well-being.
H.E. Kevin Kelly, member of the Board of Directors of the TFV welcomed the contribution and stated, "Belgium has been a resolute supporter of the TFV's mandate, and its steadfast commitment to providing redress to victims is exemplified by the unrestricted voluntary contributions it has made since 2005. I commend Belgium's continued support and encourage other States to follow its example."
H.E. Olivier Belle, Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Belgium to the International Organisations in The Hague stated, "Belgium is proud to be able to announce its decision to make a voluntary contribution of €60,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims in 2025. Belgium has always been particularly sensitive to the fate reserved for victims of the most serious crimes and has made this one of its priorities. The Trust Fund for Victims does a unique job of providing reparation to victims and their families, including through, medical, psychological and material support. Supporting the TFV is directly in line with this."
Belgium has been a regular contributor to the TFV since 2005, featuring among its top ten donor states.
