reclamaciones ante los tribunales, defensa culturalResumen
Este artículo se centra en los argumentos culturales, religiosos o étnicos presentados por miembros de familias en casos judiciales contra instituciones del Estado, en Holanda. Basándome en un análisis de las sentencias judiciales, estudio la presentación de argumentos en casos relacionados con niños de familias de minorías en varios campos jurídicos. En la literatura, dichos argumentos suelen comentarse en el contexto de la así denominada defensa cultural, donde los autores de delitos presentan argumentos culturales para eludir o disminuir el castigo. Sin embargo, también los miembros de familias pueden presentar argumentos para excepciones de políticas estatales, para solicitar la aceptación de determinadas prácticas, o para aducir discriminación por parte de instituciones del Estado. El artículo muestra cómo los tribunales holandeses son reacios a aceptar esos argumentos, y a menudo los excluyen totalmente de las sentencias. Aduzco que esta falta de implicación con argumentaciones culturales, religiosas o étnicas debería entenderse en el contexto de los discursos generales de Holanda sobre la asimilación de minorías migrantes.
