for the Elimination of Child Labor.'' The award's two major goals are 
to: (a) Honor and give public recognition to a recipient demonstrating 
extraordinary efforts to combat the worst forms of child labor

demonstrated by Iqbal Masih, including leadership, courage, integrity, 
and a search to end the labor exploitation of children and raise 
awareness about the worst forms of child labor internationally. For
