There‘s an explanation, with a particular view point, here: https://www.ohchr.org/en/issues/escr/pages/areescrfundamenta...

The history is that western democracies generally emphasized civil rights while poorer countries social rights. This “evened the playing field” to play off rights against each other. For example one can claim that it’s been necessary to to limit certain civil rights to improve the situation of social rights. (Take away the farms and give them to the workers).
