The Republic of Slovenia, a State Party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) since 2001, has made a voluntary contribution of EUR 15,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV), reaffirming its commitment to international justice and the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute.
This unrestricted contribution advances the TFV's mandate to make visible the plight of victims, mobilise resources for their benefit, and implement programmes that serve them - encompassing both ICC‑ordered reparations and assistance programmes that address the physical, psychological, and material needs of victims and affected communities.
Mr Andres Parmas, Chair of the Board of Directors of the TFV stated, "Voluntary contributions are integral to the work of the Trust Fund for Victims. Thousands of victims all over the world yearn for justice, and our work is necessary to ensure that reparative justice is realised. While thanking Slovenia for its contribution, I call upon other States to show greater support for the TFV and increase their contributions to the Fund."
H. E. Jožef Drofenik, Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia to the Kingdom of The Netherlands stated, "The Trust Fund for Victims plays a vital role in supporting individuals and communities affected by crimes under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. Through its assistance and reparations programmes, the Fund contributes to the recovery, rehabilitation, and restoration of victims' dignity. The support of the Republic of Slovenia to the Trust Fund reflects a shared commitment to justice, accountability, and the protection of human rights. It also reinforces the international community's responsibility to ensure that victims receive meaningful recognition and assistance in rebuilding their lives."
Slovenia has been providing regular support to the TFV through voluntary contributions since 2006.
