The origin of the “Juvenile Justice without Borders” International Award is found in the wish of the IJJO to recognise the work of institutions, experts and personalities that have shown a firm commitment to the defence of children's rights and in favour of the juvenile justice systems that promote the integral development of children and youth in conflict with the law.

In this first edition 2010, the Jury of the International Award wanted to reward Institutions and personalities by recognising the important progresses and achievements in the defence of minors' rights and in legal and psychosocial fields as well as in research and direct intervention with minor offenders.
