La France réaffirme son engagement envers les victimes des crimes les plus graves en effectuant une contribution volontaire au Fonds au profit des victimes à la CPI
La République française, État partie à la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) depuis 2000, a effectué une contribution volontaire de 150 000 EUR au Fonds au profit des victimes à la CPI, réaffirmant ainsi son engagement en faveur de la justice internationale et des droits des victimes de crimes relevant du Statut de Rome. Cette contribution volontaire de la France est non affectée et sera utilisée pour réparer les préjudices subis par les victimes, par le biais des réparations ordonnées par la CPI et d’autres programmes mis en œuvre à leur bénéfice. S.E. Kevin Kelly, membre du Conseil de direction du Fonds au profit des victimes à la CPI, a déclaré : « Cette nouvelle contribution de la France envoie un message fort sur l’importance de la justice réparatrice pour les victimes dans le cadre du système du Statut de Rome et de la CPI. Précisément en ces temps difficiles, la France continue de démontrer qu’elle est une ardente défenseure du droit international, de la responsabilité et du soutien aux victimes de crimes les plus graves. Je salue la générosité de la France et j’exhorte les autres États à apporter un soutien similaire aux activités du Fonds au profit des victimes à la CPI ». S.E. François Alabrune, Ambassadeur de la République française auprès du Royaume des Pays-Bas, a déclaré : « La Cour punit, mais elle répare aussi. La France demeure engagée auprès des victimes, au cœur du système du Statut de Rome. Elle réaffirme l’importance du Fonds au profit des victimes, pilier indispensable pour assurer la réparation et renforcer l’état de droit à la suite de la commission des crimes les plus graves ». La République française soutient de manière constante les programmes mis en œuvre par le Fonds au profit des victimes à la CPI. Elle est le 10ᵉ plus grand contributeur du Fonds, ayant versé plus de 1 740 000 EUR de contributions volontaires depuis 2005.

Lithuania stands with victims of the most serious crimes and makes a contribution to the Trust Fund for Victims
Lithuania, a State Party to the International Criminal Court (ICC) since 2002, has made a voluntary contribution of EUR 25,000 to the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV), reaffirming its commitment to international justice and the rights of victims of crimes under the Rome Statute. Mr Andres Parmas, Chair of the Board of Directors of the TFV, “I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Lithuania for its voluntary contribution to the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC. This contribution, which is higher than its previous one, is a stark symbol of Lithuania’s continued commitment to international justice and addressing the harms endured by victims of crimes under the Rome Statute. The unrestricted nature of this contribution allows the TFV Board of Directors to allocate it to any programme under its purview. Such support is crucial in assisting the TFV’s work, and we encourage other States to follow Lithuania’s example in promoting hope within affected communities.”H.E. Audra Plepytė, Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, stated, “Lithuania is proud to contribute to the Trust Fund for Victims, whose efforts provide vital and tangible assistance to those affected by the most serious crimes. By standing alongside the ICC and the Trust Fund for Victims, we reaffirm our strong commitment to accountability, justice, and the inherent dignity of every victim. We remain convinced that healing and recovery are essential foundations for lasting peace, and we are privileged to contribute to this important mission.”For more information about the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC, please contact trustfundforvictims@icc-cpi.int or visit www.trustfundforvictims.org.
