  • 2: What if?: Justice Focused on Memory over Punishment?

    2: What if?: Justice Focused on Memory over Punishment?
    Jan 18 2026

    In this episode of What If? The Future’s Legal Podcast, we ask: what if justice focused less on punishment, and more on memory?

    We explore whether preserving testimonies, storytelling, and collective memory can itself function as a form of justice in post-conflict societies.

    We are joined by Francisco, a Public Information Coordinator at the International Criminal Court, who shares insights from his work communicating justice to communities affected by conflict. The episode considers whether international justice should be measured by convictions alone, or by how societies remember what happened, and why that memory matters.

    In this episode we are joined by Silvia Teixeira and Stephane Duponcheele in exploring the fascinating novel legal and policy concerns that are associated with permanent settlement in outer space. We discuss the provisions of the Outer Space Treaty, as well as the current grey areas in international space law.

    Alongside currently completing her masters in International Development and Public Policy, Silvia works as a project manager at Nova SBE's Knowledge Centre. She has collaborated as a research assistant on a H2020 Earth observation project. Her interests lie in legal and policy challenges of emerging technologies on Earth and in space.

    Stephane is an undergraduate student at UCL, with a strong interest in space law from both a commercial and public policy standpoint.
