The Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC is honored to engage with members of parliament from around the world discussing international justice and the fight against impunity for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression at Parliamentarians for Global Action 13th Consultative Assembly on the ICC taking place today in Islamabad. Parliaments, and thus their members, are central to ratification, adoption of implementing legislation, approval of budget and foreign policy direction in the fight against impunity, which are essential to the success of the ICC and to domestic justice efforts. In our dialogue with parliamentarians the TFV will highlight the positive reparative impact that the ICC system has on victims and through them on the rule of law. We hope our engagement will lead to future dialogue on victims and international justice across all regions of the world.

En 2017, la Cour Pénale Internationale (CPI) a ordonné des réparations pour les dommages causés à la communauté de Tombouctou, à la population malienne et à la communauté internationale. Ces réparations incluent l’indemnisation, le soutien psychologique, la commémoration, la réhabilitation et l’entretien des bâtiments protégés. Le Fonds au Profit des Victimes de la CPI, en collaboration avec l’UNESCO, met en œuvre ces mesures pour restaurer le patrimoine culturel. Dans ce cadre, l’UNESCO a participé, du 1er au 07 octobre 2024, à une mission conjointe avec le Fonds au profit des victimes de la CPI et le gouvernement du Mali à Tombouctou. La mission avait pour objectif de remettre aux autorités de la ville de Tombouctou et à sa communauté, une partie importante des résultats des mesures de réparations collectives réalisées, de rencontrer les acteurs et de poser des bases pour la mise en œuvre des dernières mesures prévues avant le 31 décembre 2025. Les cérémonies de remise des mesures de réparations collectives réalisées, qui ont été présidées par le Gouverneur de la région de Tombouctou, M. Bakoun Kanté, le jeudi 03 octobre 2024, ont concerné le monument Louha symbolisant la résilience de la communauté de Tombouctou face au crime dont elle a été victime en 2012. Au cours de la même journée, les murs de clôture de deux cimetières et le mausolée du Cadi Cheick Mohamed Mahamoud Ben Cheick Al Arawani ont été remis à la communauté de Tombouctou après l’achèvement des travaux en avril 2024 par l’UNESCO et des entreprises locales. Les autorités et les communautés ont exprimé leur satisfaction face à ces réalisations. Sane Chirfi, chef de famille et descendant d’Alpha Moya, a déclaré : « La restauration de ce patrimoine culturel, à travers les mausolées mais également leur environnement immédiat, est un soulagement et une réponse à la souffrance ressentie par sa destruction et sa profanation. En tant que descendants d’Alpha Moya et membres de la communauté de Tombouctou, ma famille et moi sommes désormais en paix avec notre histoire familiale et l’histoire de notre ville, surtout que nous avons participé à chacune des étapes des réparations et que nos observations ont toujours été prises en considération ». L’UNESCO reste engagée auprès du Gouvernement du Mali pour la sauvegarde de son riche patrimoine culturel. #patrimoineculturel #mausolée #Tombouctou #CPI #Mali #unescomali Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC

Another milestone reached in the reparations programme for victims in the Al Mahdi case at the International Criminal Court #Mali. Last week in Timbouktou, the Trust Fund for Victims at the ICC handed over to the authorities and communities the Louha monument, as place for remembrance of the 2012 attacks; the Al Arawani mausoleum rebuilt by UNESCO MALI and now returned to the descendants; and completed the fencing and planting of trees around the mausoleum's cemetery to prevent erosion from dessert wind. We are now set on the last phase of the programme dedicated, as instructed by the ICC judges, to economic rehabilitation of the Timbouktu community, through the support of 42 projects selected and implemented by local actors. The Al Mahdi programme is delivered by the ICC through the TFV, on behalf of the International Community. It has been driven by local and community based consultation and decision-making. The TFV top priority is to complete the delivery of remaining awards by December 2025. CIDEAL Foundation @CFOGRAD UNESCO
