The creation of their own litigation teams, their increasing funding of NGOs and applications before the European Courts, their contribution to the content and supervision of the judgments delivered by these Courts, have some direct effects on human rights. In this perspective, we also analyse the impacts of this private influence on the European jurisprudence, its potential privatisation and on international relations between states. We question thus the direct and non-direct threat of this private influence on the independency of the European justice and on the protection of human rights in Europe. The private influence on the inputs, the outputs and the structures of the European Courts could orient the European jurisprudence towards certain countries (considered to be enemies of wealthy financiers) and the promotion of private interests (such as free market and capitalism: promotion of competition and free market, of a liberal and international society) pursued by private foundations"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on October 22, 2020) Subject Human rights -- Europe -- Cases Human rights advocacy -- Europe Charitable uses, trusts, and foundations -- Political activity -- Europe Non-governmental organizations -- Europe -- Influence Charitable uses, trusts, and foundations -- Political activity Human rights advocacy Human rights -- Cases Non-governmental organizations -- Influence Europe Form Electronic book LC no. 2020009124 ISBN 9781108683869 110868386X 9781108752442 1108752446
