Interference with the independence of the judiciary has taken an insidious form : in the grip of a new brand of public management, business strategies are being applied to the justice system, turning the judge into a link in a production line. Judges' organisations are resisting this movement, from a standpoint anchored in political culture and critical thinking, backed by the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. This resistance has also contributed to the emergence of a new judicial diplomacy, in the face of the internationalisation of the issues and the globalisation of the law.
