The University of Murcia held this Wednesday, May 13, the first act of defense of a completely virtual doctoral thesis, in which both the doctoral student and the court were connected via videoconference.
This is a novelty derived from the limitations established by the alarm decree, a consequence of the health crisis caused by COVID-19. The current regulations in force contemplate the possibility that some of the people participating in the defense may connect via videoconference; however, the act should always be done in one of the spaces of the University of Murcia.
In the current circumstances, of suspension of the face-to-face academic activity, the regulations have been adapted so that this defense can be made in the virtual classroom of the institution, understood as an institution space. The same has happened with steps prior to defense, such as the deposit and public presentation of the thesis.
Everything has been done in accordance with current regulations, although adapting to the circumstances of restriction of movement and lack of presence in the procedures. The PhD student who has launched this new defense system is Antonio Megías Bas, who has presented his thesis 'Legal-labor conceptualization of illegal labor trafficking'.
The thesis supervisors are Professors Faustino Cavas Martínez and María Carmen López Aniorte.
The members of the court in charge of evaluating it have been Francisca Mª Ferrando García (president), Inmaculada Marín Alonso (secretary) and Elena Signorini (vocal).
This doctoral thesis has an international mention and has achieved an Outstanding cum laude rating. The videoconference room has been open to anyone interested in attending, as is the case with face-to-face readings of doctoral theses that are freely accessible to the public. The University of Murcia, through the International Doctoral School and the Vice-Rector's Office for Studies, has worked in recent weeks to carry out these adaptations of the regulations with the intention that students who have spent years working to present their thesis do not had an added damage to the situation.
During the month of May, three other thesis readings are already scheduled and over the next few weeks the number is expected to increase. Illegal trafficking of labor The objective of the doctoral thesis presented is to study what illegal trafficking of labor is in a globalized world where productive decentralization is a general phenomenon.
The doctoral student has carried out his research with the idea of ??having guidelines that allow legal operators to clearly define the typical conduct of said crime, in order to prosecute and sanction it appropriately.
In this way, Antonio Megías intends with his research to join two disciplines of the Spanish legal system, labor and criminal law.
It supports the thesis that illegal labor intermediation directly and indirectly affects the labor market, as well as the rights of workers,since the trust and integrity of the labor relations is broken by the irruption of a new actor who fraudulently interferes in the labor relationship.
The work carried out concludes that there is an inadequate application of the penal precept of illegal trafficking in labor, which causes that, de facto, there is no sentence condemning for an aggravated alleged aggravated assignment of labor or intermediation.
