Given the unlikelihood of ECT modernization or termination in the near future, arbitration under the treaty will continue to shape the legal landscape of energy investments. This article explores the potential of integrative interpretation as a means to reconcile climate obligations with ECT protections in arbitration. Integrative interpretation is not only mandated by international treaty interpretation rules but is also reflected in the practice of international dispute settlement. However, despite this legal foundation, no ECT tribunal has yet incorporated international climate law into its decisions. While practical challenges and uncertainties persist, precedents from broader international dispute settlement and climate litigation suggest that ECT arbitration could evolve to balance investment protection with climate commitments. This article argues that fostering an integrative interpretative approach could enable ISDS to serve both investment stability and climate mitigation goals, contributing to a more coherent legal framework for energy transition.</em></p> Miebaka Nabiebu Ntamy Agube Mokutima Etido Ekpo Copyright (c) 2025 Law and Social Justice in Society (LSJS) 2025-02-17 2025-02-17 1 1 1 13 https://letiges.or.id/index.php/lsjs/article/view/51 <p><em>This essay examines the relevance of Leibniz's philosophy of law for modern jurisprudence, emphasising his contributions to legal reasoning, justice, and truth. Leibniz's distinction between necessary and contingent truths, his theory of legal proof, and his multi-level approach to law—integrating strict law, equity, and morality—offer valuable insights into contemporary legal thought. His vision of a characteristic universalis, a logical system for structuring legal reasoning, anticipates modern formal methods in law. A comparison with Ronald Dworkin's legal philosophy highlights their shared commitment to objective legal principles and the integration of morality into law. While Leibniz employs formal logic and conceptual analysis, Dworkin's approach focuses on interpretive reasoning. By bridging these perspectives, this essay argues for synthesising analytical jurisprudence and natural law, demonstrating how Leibniz's ideas can help unify legal reasoning across different legal traditions and contribute to the pursuit of justice.</em></p> Charles Berebon Copyright (c) 2025 Law and Social Justice in Society (LSJS) 2025-02-17 2025-02-17 1 1 14 24 10.35723/lsjs.v1i1.51
