A lot of comments are focusing on penalties.
Just asking this tech focused community, but shouldn't the correct action be for a UN level entity charge an automatic de-orbiting fee.
Even thinking it as a bottle deposit return if the launching company succeeds in its de-orbit burnup for ongoing constellations.
