| A year ago, the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) published the report “NGOs and the Judges of the ECHR“, revealing a serious problem of conflicts of interest within the ECHR. Some judges rule on cases in which one of the parties is an NGO of which they were once close collaborators or even founders. This report sparked a great deal of media and political reaction, and its accuracy has never been disputed. Unfortunately, it collided with the first confinement, and even more so with the fear of questioning a system of power. This fear provokes inertia, silence and finally complicity. Few political leaders dared to denounce the hold of a few foundations, in particular George Soros’ Open Society, on international bodies. One year after the publication of the report, we make a first assessment of the follow-ups that have been given to it in the media, legal and political spheres.
