Resumen

Este artículo reevalúa el principio de derecho internacional de no discriminación basada en el idioma, y su aplicación a las personas pertenecientes a comunidades de inmigrantes. El artículo critica la dicotomía entre los derechos lingüísticos orientados a la tolerancia y los derechos lingüísticos orientados a la promoción. Como alternativa, el artículo sugiere que un enfoque sustantivo de la igualdad en el disfrute de los derechos humanos podría dar lugar a un deber de acomodar el idioma de los inmigrantes, cuando la ausencia de acomodaciones resulte en la negación de los derechos humanos.
