Mr. Hausfeld is widely recognized as one of the top civil litigators in the United States and for his groundbreaking results in human rights law. Among his notable work, he successfully represented the Republic of Poland, the Czech Republic, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Ukraine and the Russian Federation on issues of slave and forced labor for both Jewish and non-Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. He has represented individuals and NGOs in litigation alleging liability for aiding and abetting the South African system of apartheid.
In 2019, Mr. Hausfeld, with co-counsel Earthjustice, represented 16 children from around the world, including Greta Thunberg and Alexandria Villasenor, in a complaint filed before the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, alleging violations of children's rights to life, health, and culture by five members of the G20 whose failure to reduce carbon emissions is perpetuating climate change. On May 26, 2023, building on the foundation laid by Hausfeld’s work with child activists, during the closing remarks for the Spring 2023 session, UN CRC Committee Chair Ann Skelton announced that the Committee has adopted a General Comment on Children's Rights and the Environment with a Special Focus on Climate Change (General Comment No. 26) - an authoritative guidance on how children's rights are violated by the environmental crisis and what governments and others must do to uphold these rights.
