Abstract

In this paper, we examine the constitutional protection of economic rights and freedoms in the Basic Statute of the Sultanate of Oman. Through descriptive, analytical, and historical approaches, the study identifies the protection and mechanisms for attaining social justice according to the Basic Statute to achieve Oman's 2040 vision. The study concludes that courts must refrain from applying laws that violate the Basic Statute, and that weak guarantees of economic and social rights and freedoms hinder their protection and prevent the achievement of Oman Vision 2040. The study recommends spreading a culture of human rights and education on economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as adhering to international human rights conventions and covenants ratified by Oman.
