The International Criminal Court's Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) says it wants to launch an assistance programme for survivors of the Philippines' drug war and the Davao Death Squad "as soon as possible," but its executive director has acknowledged that no funding is yet secured. Deborah Ruiz Verduzco told reporters that the TFV's board has not yet approved a programme, and that officials are wary of beginning something they cannot sustain, with the consultation process described as being at "its very initial stage." The fund, which relies on voluntary contributions from ICC member states and private donors, could provide medical aid, educational support, or memorialisation initiatives to a broad pool of victims — including families of those killed by unidentified vigilantes — though officials warn that not every victim can be covered and that priorities such as location, age, or type of harm will need to be established.
