answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2014 answer text <p>The British Government understands the importance of reparations for victims and survivors of sexual violence who often cite this issue as key to their social, psychological and economic recovery. We strongly supported the launch of new Guidance from the UN Secretary General on reparations for conflict related sexual violence at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict, hosted by the UK on 10-13 June. This included a specific session on reparation schemes in post conflict settings. We firmly support the participation of survivors in determining appropriate reparations and believe reparations should not only focus only on financial compensation but also the dignity, social status and health of victims.</p><p>The UK is also an active supporter of the International Criminal Court's (ICC) Trust Fund for Victims (TFV). The TFV was established under the Rome Statute to support victims and to help build lasting peace and reconciliation in war torn societies – such as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since 2012, the UK has provided £2.8 million to the TFV and our most recent contribution (£1 million) was specifically earmarked for projects that support the survivors of acts of sexual violence.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 02/07/2014 12:32:53 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
