• Resumen

  • Este artículo proporciona un análisis crítico de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea sobre el principio de no discriminación por raza u origen étnico, especialmente tras su sentencia en el asunto Slagelse Almennyttige Boligselskab Afdeling Schackenborgvænge, referido a los llamados «guetos» daneses. La cuestión prejudicial preguntaba al Tribunal si una legislación que clasifica determinadas zonas residenciales como «guetos», con base en el origen o ascendencia «no occidental» de sus residentes, es conforme a la Directiva Europea contra la discriminación racial. El artículo analiza las alegaciones de las partes, las Conclusiones de la abogada general y la sentencia del TJUE. Aunque hay algunos aspectos positivos en la sentencia, el artículo muestra los numerosos aspectos problemáticos de la misma y reflexiona sobre lo que la jurisprudencia del TJUE en relación a este principio supone para futuras políticas públicas en materia de integración y cohesión social.
