dc.description.abstractNeoliberalism, characterised by free-market reforms, privatisation of public services and assets, prioritisation of private property rights, and limited government interference, has shaped the "neoliberal age." Critics argue that these policies have contributed to social inequality, poverty, and human rights violations. This research analyses the challenges neoliberal policies present to human rights and assesses the effectiveness of human rights in addressing social inequality, injustice, and poverty, focusing on the Case study of Georgia. The concept of neoliberalism as a political philosophy prioritises the interests of multinational corporations and privileged individuals. This paper explores the interconnection between neoliberal economic policies and social and economic rights. The research highlights the extent of poverty and its impact on human rights, particularly on vulnerable groups in Georgia. It reveals that a significant portion of the global population lives in poverty, adversely affecting access to healthcare, education and other basic necessities. Given these realities, the effectiveness of human rights in addressing the challenges posed by neoliberal policies is questioned. The study analyses the Georgian human rights framework and the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. It investigates the legal and political aspects involved in addressing socioeconomic issues and explores the role of human rights in tackling social inequality and injustice.en_US
