Resumen
A principios de los años ochenta, algunos países anglosajones empezaron a introducir en sus legislaciones normas específicas para combatir un tipo especial de delitos -motivados por el odio y la intolerancia hacia las víctimas y sus grupos- los llamados “delitos de odio”. Sin embargo, más de tres décadas después, es evidente que la incorporación de este tipo de leyes en los diferentes sistemas legislativos internos de los países de Europa continental todavía evoluciona lentamente. Pero aún peor es que, prácticamente, no hay voluntad política, social, jurídica ni legislativa para poner fin a la división social aparente causada por este tipo de delitos y los motivos que favorecen su aparición, sobre todo a través del llamado “discurso de odio”. Hay voces e instituciones que sugieren el establecimiento de límites, sin tener en cuenta que, al prohibir el discurso, limitarían los demás derechos fundamentales, especialmente la libertad de expresión. Además, la limitación del discurso de los intolerantes, podría dar paso de hecho a una sociedad de radicalismo inesperado. Con este estudio, tenemos la intención de hacer una aproximación rápida al concepto y a la evolución de los delitos de odio y evaluar qué tipo de discurso ofensivo puede desencadenar acciones violentas, a las que deben respuesta las instituciones europeas y qué límites fijan los Tribunales.
In the early eighties, some Anglo-Saxon countries started to introduce into their laws specific rules to combat a special type of crimes-motivated by hate and intolerance towards the victims and their groups- the so called “hate crimes”. However, more than three decades later, it is obvious that the incorporation of this kind of laws into the different internal legislations of the countries of continental Europe is still going very slow. But even worse is that there is practically no political, social, legal and legislative will to put an end to the apparent social division caused by this kind of offenses and motives which favor their appearance, especially through the so called “hate speech”. There are voices and institutions that suggest setting limits, without taking into account that, by forbidding the speech, they would limit other fundamental rights, especially the freedom of expression. Besides, by limiting the speech of the intolerants, we would give way to a suspicious society that de facto would host unexpected radicalism. With this study, we intend to make a quick approach to the concept and the evolution of hate crimes and evaluate what kind of offensive speech can trigger off violent actions, which answers are given by the Europeans institutions and which limits are drawn by the Courts.
