Congratulations to the BD judge!

Supreme Court Justice Muhammad Imman Ali has been given one of Europe's most prestigious awards for his invaluable contribution towards the protection of children in Bangladesh. The International Juvenile Justice Observatory (IJJO) presented the Juvenile Justice without Borders International Award to him in Brussels, Belgium in the presence of his family members as well as diplomatic and other officials representing over 50 countries. IJJO supports international advocacy on priority child issues and focuses on child-friendly justice, violence against children, mental health issues, prevention of delinquency and other topics related to juvenile justice systems and children's rights.

On January 13, 2011, the Supreme Court Justice distinguished himself by prompting action of the ministry of education that led to immediate prohibition of corporal punishment in all educational institutions throughout Bangladesh. He was the driving force behind the implementation of laws relating to juvenile justice and the ultimate enactment of the Children Act 2013.
