Rita Joseph is author of “Human Rights and the Unborn Child” (Leiden & Boston, Martinus Nijhoff, 2009). In addition to being a wife and mother over forty years, she has been a writer, a part-time lecturer, and a human rights advocate specializing in the philosophy and language of human rights law. As an adviser to various delegations at the United Nations, she has had extensive experience in unpacking and negotiating the texts of numerous human rights documents. While at the UN in New York, she became interested in researching the founding instruments of the United States—the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—with special regard to the Founders’ understanding of what they called the “natural rights and duties of parents” relating to “the infant in the mother’s womb.”
