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 commitment to international justice and to the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute.
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 stated, "I wish to reiterate Malta's unwavering support to the International Criminal Court. In its capacity as the only permanent and independent international criminal court, it serves as a beacon of hope and justice for victims worldwide. The ICC thus plays an indispensable role in the pursuit of international criminal justice and lasting peace. Malta is fully cognisant of the enduring importance of a victim-centred approach to justice. As such, Malta's commitment towards the Trust Fund for Victims is not merely a financial gesture, but a reaffirmation of our principled commitment to stand with survivors. It also demonstrates Malta's support to 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 consistently provided voluntary contributions to the ICC Trust Fund for Victims every year since 2021.
