Sin embargo, las interpretaciones de este derecho distan de ser unívocas cuando se trata de gestionar la situación de personas cuyas creencias religiosas son minoritarias. Las llamadas prácticas de armonización constituyen técnicas destinadas a pluralizar el contenido y el ejercicio de este derecho. Paralelamente, el denominado Derecho de las minorías (en su caso, religiosas) ofrece también un marco de protección cuyo alcance no ha sido aún nítidamente definido. La pluralidad actual de las sociedades europeas y su compromiso de proteger la diversidad y a las minorías obligan a buscar un marco más certero y eficaz de protección, optando entre derechos e instrumentos genéricos o específicos.Universidad de Deusto = Deustuko Unibertsitatea: Instituto de Derechos Humanos Pedro Arrupe2011text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3836951(Revista) ISSN 1885-298XAnuario de acción humanitaria y derechos humanos = Yearbook of humanitarian action and human rights, ISSN 1885-298X, Nº. 8, 2011, pags. 13-26engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
