わけにはいかない
means
can't very well not ~; can't just not; have to ~
When わけにはいかない follows a negative clause, as we would expect 'can't very well ~' now becomes 'can't very well not ~'. In English a more natural way of saying 'can't very well not' would often be 'have to do' or 'must do'.
ないわけにはいかない implies a sense of 'moral' obligation to do Y / Y cannot be avoided, because of the circumstances of X.
