Omar Shakir has authored several major reports, including a 2021 report comprehensively documenting how Israeli authorities are committing the crimes against humanity, of apartheid, and persecution against millions of Palestinians. As a result of his advocacy, the Israeli government deported Omar in November 2019.
A former Fulbright Scholar in Syria, Director Shakir holds a JD from Stanford Law School, where he co-authored a report on the civilian consequences of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan as a part of the International Human Rights & Conflict Resolution Clinic, an MA in Arab Studies from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Affairs, and a BA in International Relations from Stanford.
