Rabea Eghbariah (ربيع إغبارية) is a Palestinian human rights lawyer and legal scholar.[1][2][3] 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.[1][4][5]

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.[6] His scholarship triggered academic and public debate, with controversy surrounding the censorship of his writings by the Harvard Law Review and Columbia Law Review.[6]
