DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: George Soros infiltrated and controls the ECHR

SUMMARY

George Soros through his philanthropic organisation “the Open Society Foundation (OSF)” controls many Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the people who work for them. Many judges of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), since they had ties at some point with one of the NGOs financed by the OSF, are controlled by George Soros and support a perverted interpretation of Human Rights to destabilise European values.

RESPONSE

The recurrent narrative about the influence of Georges Soros through his financing of NGOs supporting Human Rights (see our article the All-Powerful Mr Soros). The fact that some lawyers worked at some point in their career for an NGO that received funds from the Open Society Foundation before becoming a judge for the ECHR is not sufficient to declare a potential conflict of interest. The recruitment process for judges to the ECHR is as follows; each member state of the Council of Europe proposes three candidates, from whom one is elected for a 9 years non-renewable mandate. This ensures the diversity of the court. Georges Soros is regularly accused by Russian backed media of controlling institutions, governments, the Ukrainian President, the Pope, European Commission and European central bank, or on the contrary, aiming to destabilise the European Union or wanting some governments to collapse.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform.
