  • español

    Frente a los crecientes conflictos entre la libertad religiosa y la no discriminación, el artículo recurre a fuentes comparadas y domésticas para proponer tres mecanismos para su conciliación, todos los cuales gozan de cierto sustento normativo en Chile. Primero, las excepciones constitucionales o legales a las normas antidiscriminación. Segundo, la objeción de conciencia. Tercero, la acomodación razonable. Junto con identificar ventajas y desventajas de los mecanismos, se propone su utilización combinada, destacando la acomodación razonable como la herramienta más adecuada.

    Given the increasing conflicts between freedom of religion and non-discrimination, and drawing from comparative and domestic sources, this article advances three mechanisms to reconcile these rights, all having statutory support in Chile. First, constitutional or statutory exceptions to antidiscrimination laws. Second, the conscientious objection. Third, reasonable accommodations. Advantages and disadvantages of these mechanisms are identified. Although a combination of the three mechanisms is recommended, reasonable accommodations is suggested as the most suitable option.
