from Part II - The Substantive Dimension of the Growing Influence of Private Foundations on European Human Rights Justice
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 October 2020
We argue that the main objective pursued by private foundations through direct litigation and their funding of NGOs is to spur social changes connected with their own interests. Chapter 7 sheds light on the relationships between the litigation undertaken and funded by foreign private foundations and their economic and political interests. The economic interests of these foundations can be identified through the identities and CVs of their Board members and through the economic investments made by their heads. A number of judgments litigated and delivered by the ECtHR that favour and promote free market and free trade are also analysed. Litigation documents and archives collected in 2016 at the Rockefeller Foundation archives in New York and at the OSF archives in Budapest are used to demonstrate the international and liberal perspective endorsed by private foundations and to show how the litigation and economic interests pursued by these foundations, and even by several European countries, coincide and intersect.
