Natalie R. Davidson is a senior Lecturer (equivalent to Associate Professor) at the Tel Aviv University Buchmann Faculty of Law. She researches and teaches International Human Rights Law and Constitutional Law. Her current work focuses on security exports from Israel, their human rights and political impacts, and the international and domestic regulation of the trade in arms and other security technologies, including spyware. At Tel Aviv University, she received a teaching innovation award for her project-based course on Security Exports and Human Rights for law students in their final year. One year the students created a podcast series (in Hebrew) on the harms created by Israeli security exports, and the challenges of regulation. Another year they produced (in Hebrew) a report on the weaknesses of the Israeli regulation and a critical analysis of the regulation aiming to protect human rights in arms exports in six democracies. As a visiting professor at the Georgetown Law Center she taught a course on The Global Arms Trade, International Law and Human Rights to JD and LLM students. A member of the Israeli Law Professors' Forum for Democracy, she has written on the regulation of gun licensing in Israel and increased civilian access to guns since October 2023. She publishes in English and Hebrew, is fluent in French, and speaks advanced Spanish and Italian. 

Davidson holds a PhD from Tel Aviv University, and previous law degrees from King's College London, Université Paris I and the LSE. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Minerva Center for Human Rights at Hebrew University, and a visiting scholar at the University of Texas Austin Rapoport Center for Human Rights.
