THE TRUST FUND FOR VICTIMS
The Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) at the International Criminal Court (ICC) is the first of its kind in the global movement to end impunity and promote justice. With the adoption of the Rome Statute in 2002, the international community has provided a platform to achieve justice for the victims of the most serious crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression.
Acknowledging the importance of victims’ redress as part of the global justice system, the Assembly of States Parties, under Article 79 of the Rome Statute, set up the TFV.
The TFV is mandated by the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty, to support and implement programmes that address harms resulting from ICC crimes. It does so in two ways:
- Reparations: implementing Court-ordered reparations awards against a convicted person when directed by the Court to do so.
- Assistance: using voluntary contributions and private donations, to provide victims and their families in situations under Court jurisdiction with physical rehabilitation, material support, and/or psychological rehabilitation.
To implement its two-fold mandate, the TFV works closely with NGOs, community groups, women’s grassroots organizations, governments, and UN agencies at local, national, and international levels. The TFV empowers victims of crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and crimes of aggression and their families as main stakeholders in the process of rebuilding their lives, contributing to peace, reconciliation, and rehabilitation in war-torn societies.
The strategic goals of the Trust fund for Victims are:
Impact is predominantly achieved by the use of voluntary contributions and private donations, as well as of fines and assets recovered in relation to ICC convictions.
Performance is predominantly achieved by the use of the regular budget of the TFV Secretariat, part of the ICC’s budget, as constituted by the assessed contributions of States Parties to the Rome Statute.
Purpose
The TFV aims to strengthen its ability to increase revenue from public donor sources, including bilateral donors, multilateral donors and publicly funded international initiatives.
The TFV seeks highly specialised advisory services that will enable the TFV to: (i) develop a strong and competitive market profile based on TFV mandate and brand within the context of the Rome Statute framework; (ii) understand current international financing trends; (iii) act competently and effectively to develop partnerships with, and maximise sustained revenue from, selected public donors
Deliverables [internal note: Consultant accountability]
Analysis of TFV market profile, considering mandate and association with the ICC, potential value of programme (achievements, absorption and growth capacity), niche market value vs. similar and mainstream competitors, and in view of international financing trends
Analysis, with a view to improve TFV market positioning, of international and innovative financing trends, policies and instruments, existing and evolving, suitable to the TFV’s mandate and financing needs (thematic, geographical)
Analysis of TFV’s current public donor network (States Parties) and key actors within, towards deepening and strengthening partnership relations
Analysis of existing and potential non-donor ‘champions’: individuals in and around Rome Statute landscape who support the TFV’s mandate and who may provide access to high value professional and political networks of international public financing
Analysis, with a view to increase eligibility for funding, of TFV’s current resource development practice, roles and capacity, and relevant policies and instruments in relation programme investment and management, and partnership development, including through co-investment arrangements
Establish a pipeline of high potential resource development opportunities for TFV
Facilitate the initiation of high level contacts with selected potential public donors and/or partners
Contribute to the development of content for publicity materials, including through social media; funding proposals and the overall strategy for resource development, to be integrated in the TFV 2022-2025 Strategic Plan
Coordinate inside TFV to harmonise public and private resource development approaches and actions
Advisory services to TFV leadership (Board, executive) and management (programme managers) to strengthen skills and effectiveness in resource development
Desired organisational performance outcomes [internal note: TFV accountability]
Increased revenue from international public donors and initiatives satisfy the TFV’s immediate and longer term funding needs in relation to Court-ordered reparations awards and situational assistance programmes
Long term engagement with high profile international pubic donors and initiatives serve to strengthen the TFV’s profile as a leading and innovative international agency of delivering reparations and assistance to victims of atrocity crimes, and to be recognised as such within and outside of the Rome Statute system
Partnerships with State Parties are broadened and expanded to mobilize funding for TFV and leverage resources, for victims.
Alliances with the EU/AU and financial institutions such as the WB/AFDB, and multi-lateral organisations etc. are advanced to promote the cause of victims and to initiate investment opportunities.
Alliances with relevant international initiatives, funded from public and/or private sources, towards partnership and co-investment arrangements (e.g., Global Survivor Fund)
TFV capacities are enhanced to successfully nurture and manage public partnerships and donors.
