The Foundation's aim is to create a permanent international service which functions as a place for meeting, work and reflection for professionals working in the fields of law, psychology, medicine, sociology, teaching, criminology and education. Professional associations, political groups, legislators, security services, institutions, administrations and non-governmental organisations will also be able to participate in this project. All these institutions and professionals, concerned by the situation of young offenders in conflict with the law, are therefore invited to propose appropriate and effective international responses.
