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

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.Hosts: Raana Syed and Hasti HashemiEditors: Salma Abuelatta and Noor Sayegh
