The conference takes place on the occasion of the presentation, in the UV, of the manifesto “There is no right. For a Criminal Code made by all” by the Criminal Policy Studies Group. It is a collective act to be held simultaneously in some universities of the state, in addition to the UV, such as the University of Barcelona, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and the following universities: Salamanca, A Coruña, Public University of Navarra, Córdoba, Granada, Málaga, Alcalá, Alicante, Jaume I, Cádiz and País Vasco.

Some of the more controversial aspects of the reform will be analysed and discussed in the conference held at the Faculty of Law of the UV, (such as the revisable permanent prison, or the changes in the Criminal Code in terms of sexual offenses or criminalisation of social protest). For this purpose, we will count with the participation of the following speakers: Tomás S. Vives Antón (Emeritus Full University Professor of Criminal Law at the UV and Vice-President Emeritus of the Constitutional Court), Juan Carlos Carbonell (Full University Professor of Criminal Law at the UV), Enrique Orts Berenguer (Emeritus Full University Professor of Criminal Law at the UV), Javier Boix Reig (Full University Professor of Criminal Law at the UV and lawyer), Carmen Tomás-Valiente (Tenured Professor of Criminal Law at the UV) and Alberto Alonso Rimo (Tenured Professor of Criminal Law at the UV).
