Victims Trust Fund

The ICC's Victims Trust Fund is a revolutionary effort to provide more complete justice to the victims of the world's worst crimes.  The Trust Fund will collect and disperse reparations to victims of crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC, and to their families.  It was established under Article 79 of the ICC's Rome Statute.

The Victims' Trust Fund is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors, which met for the first time in April 2004 to start establishing procedures and regulations for the Trust Fund's important work.  The eminent members of the Board of Directors are H.R.H. Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan, H.E. Dr. Oscar Arias Sanchez of Costa Rica, H.E. Mr. Tadeusz Mazowiecki of Poland, Madame the Minister Simone Veil, and H.G. Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
