Anna Vera Raga i Vives, a doctoral candidate and assistant lecturer at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló, has received the Universidad Complutense de Madrid's Susana Huerta Criminal Law Award for her study entitled "Casos difíciles en materia de eutanasia (a la luz de la STC 19/2023, de 22 de marzo)", supervised by the Professor of Criminal Law of the UJI María Luisa Cuerda Arnau. This award is one of most prestigious distinctions for young researchers in the field of criminal law in Spain.

Her research has studied the grounds given by the Spanish Constitutional Court to reject the appeal filed against the Organic Law on the Regulation of Euthanasia and draws on its ruling to examine why certain behaviours, although based on the individual's free will, are criminally punishable.

In addition, it also addresses some difficult cases related to Article 143.4 of the Criminal Code (dealing with the punishment for causing or collaborating in the death of a person with a very serious illness) or tackles some unresolved challenges, such as the Constitutional Court's restrictions on physical euthanasia and the implications of psychiatric euthanasia for criminal law.

Anna Raga enrolled in the Doctoral School's Programme in Law in 2022 and is now preparing her doctoral thesis, which deals with illicit enrichment. The award-winning study is not part of her thesis, but a result of her parallel research as a member of the Criminal Law, Criminology and Intelligence research group. In 2023, she undertook a research visit to the University of Trento.

The study was defended before the jury of the fifth edition of the award, made up of three professors from the universities of Valencia, the Basque Country, and Pompeu Fabra. The other four candidates shortlisted by the jury were the following: Víctor Manuel Carratalá Valera (University of Valencia), Carmen Fernández Nicasio (Pablo de Olavide University), Diego Langa García (University of the Basque Country) and Sophia Charlotte Peschko (Carlos III University)

The Susana Huerta Award, offered by the Department of Procedural and Criminal Law of the Complutense University of Madrid, aims to encourage master's and doctoral students to conduct research in the area of knowledge of criminal law and, at the same time, pay tribute to the magnificent criminal lawyer and teacher Susana Huerta Tocildo, the first Professor of Criminal Law in Spain and also head of the Department of Criminal Law at said university.
