WELCOME to the online home of the Trust Fund for Victims.
Our Spring 2010 Programme Progress Report on Recognizing Victims and Building Capacity in Transitional Societies is now available to download (PDF). Our Fall 2009 Programme Progress Report is available as well (PDF).
The Trust Fund for Victims supports activities which address the harm resulting from crimes under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court by assisting victims to return to a dignified and contributory life within their communities. The TFV develops its activities with the victims themselves as partners, helping them rebuild their families and communities and regain their place as fully contributing members of their societies.
The TFV fulfils two mandates: (1) administering reparations ordered by the Court against a convicted person, and (2) using other resources for the benefit of victims subject to the provisions of article 79 of the Rome Statute. Both mandates provide support to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed since 1 July, 2002.

Currently, the TFV is providing a broad range of support under its second mandate - including vocational training, counselling, reconciliation workshops, reconstructive surgery and more - to an estimated 42,300 direct beneficiaries and an additional 182,000 of their family and community members. The TFV employs two targeting strategies for this assistance: (1) projects tailored to meet the needs of victims of specific crimes and (2) large-scale projects to help communities rebuild themselves and establish long-term peace and reconciliation. You can read more about these on our projects and success stories pages. You can also find more information about our legal basis, our two mandates, and our current projects using the links above.
