International Institutional Actors: How Do They Shape International Law?
July 13, 10:15 AM — 12:00 PM
Sedas Nunes, Auditório 0NE01 Paquete de Oliveira
Session Type: Paper Session, Session ID: 1058
It is a truism that international institutions play an increasingly important role in virtually all aspects of the everyday lives of people in every corner of this planet. But to what extent are these international institutions implicated in processes of international and transnational lawmaking – understood as the creation, diffusion, and (un)settling of international and transnational norms? This question has received only limited attention. While some international institutions focus explicitly on lawmaking, most, if not all, implicitly influence transnational and international norm-making processes. Through the close examination of a particular institution, a particular process, or a particular norm, the panelists illustrate the various ways international or transnational institutions shape law.

This panel will centre on the relationship between technological infrastructures, technical concepts, and modes of governance. It will do so by examining a variety of data-centred case studies, including how statistical concepts govern international labour law, how the laws of global data capitalism operate, how the technical design of digital computers governs data possibilities, and the alternate frameworks made possible by the notion of a data commons.
