El objeto central del presente trabajo es el comentario de un caso recientemente resuelto por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, el asunto J.D. y A. contra Reino Unido. Las particularidades de este caso nos permiten comprobar algunas debilidades y fortalezas de la doctrina del Tribunal de Estrasburgo en materia de igualdad y no discriminación, un ámbito de incuestionable valor en el espacio europeo de derechos, así como destacar la emergencia de nuevos planteamientos tuitivos en relación con la siempre controvertida figura de la discriminación por indiferenciación.
The main purpose of this essay is to analyse the judgement recently delivered by the European Court of Human Rights in J.D. and A. versus United Kingdom case. This case enables us to highlight some strengths and weaknesses of the Court’s non-discrimination case-law, as well as to draw attention to a new protective approach that the Court takes when it comes to remedy the effects of discrimination by undifferentiation, an always controversial issue. Given the arrival of an increasing number of cases related to article 14 CEDH and the Court’s broader interpretation of such article within the last decade, taking a closer look to its case-law on the matter seems to be of interest to study the development of common standards on the protection of human rights within the Council of Europe.
