So, what do human rights NGOs do?

[Chaos]

Yeah, it means they aren't directly financed by governments but by proxy organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy or the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung. Which makes them immune in their own minds against follow-the-money questions. Only "Conspiracy Theorists" like those guys in Russia would ask those, it is always loudly announced.

Or it means they are financed by donations and membership fees, like "my" NGO.

Funny that you mention "those guys" in Russia, as an apparently sterling example your mind. Are you talking about the same guys who force all NGOs receiving funding from foreign sources as "agents of foreign powers"?
