Abstract
Este artículo analiza la defensa cultural o delitos culturalmente motivados. En
concreto, se estudia la relación entre Derecho y diversidad cultural desde el enfoque
de la aplicación judicial del derecho. La inmigración supone que existen nuevas
dimensiones asociadas a la noción de pluralismo. Se explicarán los argumentos en
contra del universalismo, del Feminismo y de la seguridad jurídica e igualdad en la
ley y los argumentos a favor de que la diversidad cultural es inescapable y
enriquecedora, frente al localismo y la no “neutralidad cultural” del Derecho Penal
y la aplicación del Derecho sensible a la diferencia cultural.
This article analyses culturally motivated crimes and the use of culture as means of criminal defense. In particular, it studies the relationship between law and cultural diversity with a focus on the judicial application of law, and examines emergent dimensions to the notion of pluralism due to immigration. The article therefore explains arguments against universalism, feminism, and legal certainty and equal application of the law; and argues rather that cultural diversity is inescapable and enriching, and that criminal law must confront local specificities and take a non- “culturally-neutral” position, as well as provide for a culturally sensitive application of the law.
