Abstract
How does international institutional law shape the way in which international institutions collect information and govern through indicators? This paper argues that existing norms of international institutional law already form a framework that legally structures global information governance. This framework defines forms, powers, procedures and accountability as well as substantive principles and limits for the collection, procession and dissemination of indicator data by international institutions. In doing so, it constitutes an “international institutional law of information” that frames the informational relationships between international institutions, states and individuals.
