Amb. Massari meets with the Director of the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC

(ANSA) - ROMA, 11 GIU - The Italian Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Augusto Massari, met at the International Criminal Court with the Executive Director of the Trust Fund for Victims, Deborah Ruiz Verduzco, to discuss the Fund’s activities and future priorities in support of victims of international crimes. The talks provided an opportunity to explore the role of the Trust Fund for Victims, established in 2004 by the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and considered one of the fundamental instruments of restorative justice within the International Criminal Court. During the meeting, the results achieved by the Fund in 2026 and the main lines of action planned for the near future were presented. Through programs providing physical, psychological, and social assistance, as well as reparations, the Fund supports victims of crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide, and crimes of aggression, making a concrete contribution to improving their living conditions and those of their families. The meeting also provided an opportunity to reaffirm Italy’s ongoing commitment to the activities of the Trust Fund, of which our country is one of the main supporters. “Victims are at the heart of the International Criminal Court’s mission. Ensuring they receive assistance and reparations means giving concrete expression to the principles of justice, dignity, and accountability that inspire the Rome Statute system,” Ambassador Massari stated, noting the renewal of Italy’s voluntary contribution to the Trust Fund for Victims through 2026.
