Abstract

Developing countries face significant structural and institutional challenges in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13, which calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. This article explores the critical link between legal reform and climate action, emphasizing the role of the rule of law as a transformative instrument to accelerate the implementation of equitable and sustainable climate policies. Using a juridical-normative approach combined with international legal policy analysis, the study examines how legal instruments can be adapted and strengthened to enhance the systemic capacity of developing nations in responding to the climate crisis. The findings reveal that countries in the Global South that pursue progressive legal reforms particularly in the areas of environmental protection and resource governance are demonstrably more effective in implementing climate strategies. These reforms, grounded in principles of transparency, public participation, and ecological justice, contribute to institutional resilience and legal accountability. The study argues for a greater integration between national legal frameworks and global climate commitments, in order to establish an inclusive and responsive legal ecosystem that enables sustainable development and climate resilience. Strengthening the rule of law thus emerges as a foundational strategy for bridging the gap between climate pledges and practical implementation

Abstract

This study investigates the evolving regulatory landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and personal data protection through a comparative legal analysis between Southeast Asia (ASEAN) and the European Union (EU). As AI technologies increasingly permeate public governance, economic systems, and everyday decision-making, they introduce complex legal and ethical challenges related to algorithmic accountability, privacy rights, and data security. The EU, exemplified by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act, has developed a rights-based, precautionary regulatory model rooted in fundamental freedoms and democratic oversight. In contrast, ASEAN member states display considerable diversity in legal frameworks, enforcement capacities, and normative approaches—often prioritizing innovation, digital competitiveness, and pragmatic governance over stringent privacy safeguards. Employing a doctrinal and comparative methodology, this study analyzes statutes, institutional structures, and regional policy initiatives such as the ASEAN Framework on Digital Data Governance. The findings reveal significant regulatory asymmetries but also emerging areas of convergence. The study concludes by advocating for enhanced regional cooperation, capacity-building, and the adoption of adaptive, risk-based legal frameworks that align technological development with human rights standards. These insights contribute to the broader global discourse on ethical digital governance and the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 16 on peace, justice, and strong institutions.

Abstract

This study explores access to justice in plural legal systems by examining the integration of customary law and state law in Sub-Saharan Africa. In many African states, legal pluralism is a historical and social reality, with indigenous customary practices coexisting alongside colonial-derived formal legal frameworks. While state law often claims supremacy, customary law remains the primary source of dispute resolution for a significant proportion of the population, especially in rural areas. This case study investigates how the interaction between these two systems affects legal accessibility, fairness, and legitimacy. Through a qualitative case study methodology involving document analysis and secondary data, the research highlights both the complementarities and tensions between the two legal regimes. The findings suggest that harmonizing customary and state law—through mutual recognition, procedural safeguards, and institutional cooperation—can enhance inclusive justice outcomes. However, unresolved issues related to gender equality, due process, and jurisdictional ambiguity persist. The study concludes that plural legal systems, when effectively integrated, offer a promising pathway to justice that is both contextually relevant and socially legitimate

Abstract

This article explores the legal dimensions of anti-corruption and public administration reform in post-conflict states as essential pillars for rebuilding institutional integrity and sustaining peace. In the aftermath of violent conflict, corruption often thrives in the vacuum of weakened institutions, undermining efforts toward recovery, legitimacy, and development. Using a comparative legal analysis approach, this study examines the effectiveness of legal frameworks—including anti-corruption statutes, independent oversight bodies, public procurement regulations, and whistleblower protection laws—in promoting good governance and restoring public trust. Focusing on selected post-conflict countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, the article evaluates how legal reform initiatives are influenced by both international norms, such as the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), and local political realities. It highlights the implementation gap between legal commitments and practice, identifying structural constraints such as limited judicial capacity, political interference, and under-resourced oversight institutions. The analysis finds that legal strategies must move beyond punitive enforcement to incorporate preventive and participatory mechanisms that empower civil society, enhance transparency, and institutionalize accountability. The article concludes that sustainable anti-corruption reform in post-conflict settings requires a context-sensitive, rights-based approach aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 16. Legal reforms must not only criminalize corruption but also establish resilient governance systems that uphold the rule of law and democratic accountability.

Abstract

This article critically examines the role of international investment law (IIL) in supporting the objectives of sustainable development and global partnership, particularly under Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG 17). Historically, IIL has prioritized the protection of investors through strong legal guarantees and dispute settlement mechanisms, often at the expense of environmental protection, social equity, and the regulatory autonomy of host states. However, as the global development agenda shifts toward inclusivity, sustainability, and accountability, there is increasing recognition that investment treaties and legal regimes must evolve accordingly. This study employs a qualitative legal analysis of international treaties, case law, and policy frameworks to assess the emerging trends in IIL that reflect sustainability principles. Case studies from agreements such as the EU–Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement and reforms within UNCITRAL and ICSID illustrate the slow but important progress toward balancing investor rights with state responsibilities and global development goals. The article argues that transnational legal cooperation, legal harmonization, and inclusive treaty design are essential to creating an investment regime that not only facilitates global trade but also supports equitable and sustainable growth.
