Rabea Eghbariah

Rabea Eghbariah (Arabic: ربيع إغبارية) is a Palestinian human rights lawyer and legal scholar. He is currently completing his S.J.D. at Harvard Law School, where he focuses on the socio-legal aspects of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Eghbariah’s work has gained international attention for his proposal to recognize the Nakba as a legal concept within international legal frameworks, similar to how terms like apartheid and genocide are treated. His scholarship triggered academic and public debate, with controversy surrounding the censorship of his writings by the Harvard Law Review and Columbia Law Review.
