Biography

Born of Jewish parents, Hauser was the elder of two daughters of Nathan and Frieda (Litt) Abrams, Rita Eleanor (Abrams).

In 1954 she received a B.A. from Hunter College in New York, after which she was awarded a Fulbright scholarship for graduate work in France, which eventually resulted in receiving a doctorate in political economy from the University of Strasbourg.[1] She attended Harvard Law School for a while, then received a License en droit from the University of Paris (a rarity for an American) in 1958, then later received an LL.B. in 1959 from the New York University School of Law.[1]

Hauser served as cochair of "New Yorkers for Nixon" during Richard Nixon’s successful 1968 presidential campaign. She then became the United States representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (1969–1972). She also served as a member of the United States delegation to the twenty-fourth UN General Assembly.

During her time at the UN that she met many key players in Middle East politics and became committed to her pursuit of conflict resolution in the Middle East, human rights and humanitarian law. During her term at the UN, she helped Jewish immigrants leave Russia and visited Palestinian refugee camps throughout the Middle East.

During this period she also met Golda Meir who soon became her mentor and role model. Meir inspired Hauser’s involvement in Middle East politics and encouraged her, a secular Jew, to learn more about Jewish history and her own Jewishness.

For more than twenty years, Hauser was a Senior Partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan in New York.[2]

Hauser chairs the International Peace Institute and is Chair of the Advisory Board of the International Crisis Group, was elected in 2007 to the Board of the Global Humanitarian Forum in Geneva, Switzerland, chairs the American Ditchley Foundation, has served as a director of the RAND Corporation and the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and is currently a Director of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts after having been a Director of the New York Philharmonic Society for more than 20 years.[2] She also serves as an Advisory Board member for the Partnership for a Secure America.

She and her husband established the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and she is Co-Chair of the Dean’s Advisory Board at Harvard Law School, and the Hausers also were the principal benefactors of the Hauser Global Law School Program at New York University School of Law.[2]
