Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan met with Deborah Ruiz Verduzco, the Executive Director of the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
The meeting took place during Mirzoyan’s visit to the Netherlands.
FM Mirzoyan and Executive Director Ruiz Verduzco discussed "the partnership between Armenia and the Fund," according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Foreign Minister Mirzoyan expressed Armenia’s principled support for the Fund’s activities and conveyed the country’s readiness to contribute to the ongoing programs."
The Fund's mission is to support and implement programs that address harms resulting from genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. To achieve this mission, the TFV has a two-fold mandate: to implement Court-ordered reparations and to provide physical, psychological, and material support to victims and their families.
The Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) was created by the International Criminal Court (ICC) member states in 2002.
