The UN “Human Rights” plutocracy

Two years ago, the Strasbourg-based European Center for Law and Justice has published a report in which it exposed how a very small group of immensely rich “non-governmental organisations”, mostly bankrolled and controlled by the US-hungarian billionaire and self-styled “philantropist” George Soros, is able to influence the European Court of Human Rights, its agenda-setting and decision making. As it turned out, 22% of all judges who worked at the ECtHR between 2009 and 2019 were, at some stage of their careers, directly involved in Soros´s “Open Society” NGO network. That very same network plays a very active (albeit sometimes hidden) role in bringing cases to the ECtHR and funding litigation – yet hardly any of the Soros-judges ever thought it necessary to recuse himself from hearing any of these Soros-cases.

This report by the ECLJ is in and by itself sufficient to explain the strange, staunchly ideological twist that has been observed in the ECtHR´s case law in recent times and has greatly contributed to undermine the Court’s (widely undeserved) prestige. It has provoked aggressive reactions by some of the persons targeted. The Court itself also reacted defiantly by promoting the most controversial of all current Soros-appointees, the Bulgarian judge Yonko Grozev, to the influential role of a section president. Soon after that, however, when a new judge had to be elected in respect of Belgium, the Soros-candidate Sylvie Saroléa, was not elected. It appears that slowly but steadily there is some awareness how unhealthy for the Human Rights system this incestuous relationship between the ECtHR and the left-liberal NGO microcosm has become…

In the meantime, ECLJ’s Director Grégor Puppinck has published a new bombshell report, this time addressing the situation at the UN. Considering the output of the UN Human Rights system, the findings of that new report are perhaps not all that surprising, but they are nevertheless devastating for the UN system:  a system of “silent corruption” existing ath the level of the UN and tainting its “Special Rapporteurs”. As it has never before been laid open in this level of detailed, the work of those Special Rapporteurs is to a very large extend financed through the donations of a small number of extremely wealthy US foundations or pricate companies, among which – surprise, surprise!! – the Open Society Foundation (George Soros), the Ford Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Mirosoft are the by far biggest and most active donors. This has created a system of financial dependence, which makes the Special Rapporteurs of the UN effectively function as the mouthpieces of these very few, very potent, foundations. This explains to a large extent the “silly season” of UN human rights output, which has been going on for decades. The “findings” of those experts, especially when it comes to hot-button issues such as “Sexual and Reproductive Health” or “LGBT Rights”, astonishing and inexplicable as it may often seem, is easily explained once it is understood where their money comes from.

There is nothing objective or scientifivc in those reports. Even their footnootes and cross-references are, to a very large extent self-referential: an elaborate quotation cartel in which one Soros-hireling references  the next…

A “Human rights system” in which a one-digit number of international plutocrats dictates the output is an absurdity. Once the world learns to think critically about the UN human rights experts, it will treat them less deferentially, andgive more attention to how weakly their papers are oftentimes argued. In the end, it will probably not even necessary to dismantle this corrupt system. It suffices to know who pays for it. Maybe some countries will even start refusing to cooperate with the Soros-sockpuppets.
