What happens after justice is delivered? That question was at the heart of Reform Initiatives' engagement with the Trust Fund for Victims @IntlCrimCourt in The Hague, held alongside our valued partner, @JFJustice. Established under the Rome Statute, the Trust Fund for Victims plays a unique role in ensuring that accountability extends beyond the courtroom by supporting victims through reparations and assistance programmes that help rebuild lives and communities. Our conversation explored how court-ordered reparations are implemented in practice, particularly across African countries, and the importance of placing survivors and affected communities at the centre of recovery efforts. Lasting justice is not only about recognising harm, but also about restoring dignity and supporting communities to shape their own paths towards healing. We also shared @reforminitiate's work in advancing reparatory justice, transitional justice, human rights, democracy and good governance across Africa. The discussion highlighted opportunities to strengthen connections between international accountability mechanisms and community-led efforts that promote justice, participation and lasting institutional reform. As we look ahead, we welcomed conversations on future collaboration, including knowledge exchange, academic engagement and broader partnerships that can deepen regional dialogue on justice and accountability. We are grateful to the Trust Fund for Victims and Stichting Journalists for Justice for the thoughtful discussions and warm engagement. Building a more just future requires strong partnerships that connect international institutions with the communities they are meant to serve. #ReformInitiatives #TrustFundForVictims #Justice #ReparatoryJustice #TransitionalJustice #HumanRights #Accountability #Democracy #GoodGovernance #InternationalJustice
