"With the decline of public funding and new strategies pursued by interest groups, foreign private foundations and donors have become growing contributors to the European human rights justice. 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.

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"-
