Tally Kritzman

Ms. Kritzman s research focuses on the creation of a new legal category for refugees who are motivated to immigrate due to extreme financial constraints. Basing her work on the belief in a state s moral obligation to non citizens in dire circumstances, Ms. Kritzman is arguing that immigrants whose immigration is a result of constraint should receive international protection. Ms. Kritzman has come to realize the insufficiencies of current legal mechanisms in offering protection to these immigrants through her own work with refugees and asylum seekers. Her work will include conversations with prominent legal scholars at Yale. As the only legal scholar working on refugee law in Israel, Ms. Krtizman is planning to utilize all the resources available to her this year.
