Joseph is currently employed as an Associate Legal Officer in Judges' Chambers
at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in Arusha, Tanzania,
where he is helping to ensure that the Rule of Law is upheld during the trials
of accused war criminals from the Rwandan Genocide.
Joseph previously worked as a legal consultant at the Forced Migration Refugee
Centre in Cairo, Egypt where he provided legal aid for Iraqi refugees applying
for asylum in the United States and other countries.
He was also a Research Fellow at the Seton Hall Law Center for Policy and
Research where he was part of a team who researched human rights issues related
to the US Naval Detention Center at Guantanamo Bay.
Joseph received his J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law, where he
focused his legal studies on international law and human rights, studying Human
Trafficking and Modern Day Slavery in Zanzibar and Arusha, Tanzania as well as
Immigration and Refugee Law in Cairo, Egypt and Comparative Employment Law and
Comparative Constitutional Law in Parma, Italy.
He focused his international law studies on the rule of law in post-conflict
developing nations, authoring a paper "Detention
in Rwandan Gacaca Courts: Is insistence on post-Genocide retributive justice
frustrating long-term rule of law objectives?" The paper deals with the
ancient African judicial model in Rwanda that is being reinvented and
implemented as a crucial part of the Rwandan post-genocide justice model.
Joseph also continues to assist Seton Hall Law Professor Bernard K. Freamon as
he has for the previous two years with the research, writing, and editing of Dr.
Freamon's forthcoming book entitled Islam, Slavery, and Empire in the Indian
Ocean.
