To further elucidate the effects of the international sphere, this chapter examines specific international treaties and protocols to see how IGOs attempt to influence reproductive policy, and to illustrate the quantitative findings of the previous chapter. We take the ICPD PoA and the Maputo Protocol. These two documents, while both addressing women’s reproductive health and rights, are dramatically different. The comparison between their writing and ratification process, their text, and their impact provide detailed illustrations of the findings in Chapter 6 and shed new light on the underlying causal mechanisms. The ICPD PoA writers avoided controversy, used restrained language, and generated a document that did not take a firm stance on abortion. In comparison, the AU writers did not shy away from taking a strong stance, benefited from the work of NGOs leading up to the event, and eventually produced the first document of its kind proclaiming abortion as a woman’s right (at least under certain circumstances). Juxtaposition of these two documents helps us decipher the influence of international organizations on the production of reproductive rights.
