Sign up for the Absolute Priority Award.
Initiatives carried out by courts, members of the judiciary, bodies of the Justice System, the Executive and Legislative branches, organized civil society entities, companies and universities can be registered. The practices will be evaluated along two thematic lines: Protective Measures and Socio-Educational Measures.
It is permissible to submit more than one practice by the same author or body, as long as they are submitted on different forms. However, the same practice may not be registered in more than one category.
Childhood and youth
Since 2020, when it was instituted by the CNJ through the Resolution 355/2020, the Absolute Priority Award has provided an exchange of experiences between the Justice System and the System for Guaranteeing the Rights of Children and Adolescents, as well as the business and academic sectors, in order to modernize and make more efficient the actions that guarantee the rights of children and adolescents. In 2023, nine practices received awards and two honorable mentions.
