Ambassador Kelly and the Prosecutor spoke about Ireland’s staunch support of the Court, the statement made by Ireland at the 15th Assembly of States Parties to the ICC in November 2016, and Ireland’s long-standing support of the ICC Trust Fund for Victims, which provides assistance to the victims of crimes against humanity and war crimes under the jurisdiction of the ICC.
