On November 18 (same date local time), the election of the members of the Board of Directors of the Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) took place at the 14th Session of the Assembly of States of Parties (ASP) of the ICC held in The Hague, Netherlands, and Mr. Motoo Noguchi (former International Judge of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia), the incumbent Chair of the Board of Directors of the TFV, was re-elected as a member of the Board of the TFV by consensus.
2. Support projects for the female and child victims in the Republic of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo have been implemented through the TFV and achieved results steadily.
