60. 采取教育措施，确保国家和国际各级认识到植根于奴隶制和殖民主义种族歧视的规模、范围和当代余孽：对赔偿的一个严重障碍是公众的无知，甚至国家领导人对奴隶制和殖民主义持续影响的种族歧视余孽也缺乏认识。在许多国家，教育课程包含的历史不全面，抹去了奴隶制和殖民统治在确保实行奴役和殖民的大国过去和现在的繁荣方面所起的基本作用。这些历史有时可能会提到过去殖民主义和奴隶制的残暴，但很少明确指出奴隶制和殖民主义的公共和私人受益者。会员国必须采取紧迫措施，确保指出并明确说明奴隶制、殖民主义及其当代余孽，包括在其教育系统中加以指明。确保历史和政治认识，特别是奴隶制和殖民主义的当代受益者的历史和政治意识，是形成必要的政治意愿，实现赔偿的重要步骤。对目前作脱离历史的理解所起的作用是对实现赔偿的障碍。
60. Pursue educational measures to ensure national and international consciousness of the scale, scope and contemporary legacies of racial discrimination, rooted slavery and colonialism: A serious barrier to reparations is ignorance and the lack of awareness among the public and even among national leaders regarding the persisting racially discriminatory legacies of slavery and colonialism. In many countries, educational curricula include partial histories that erase the fundamental role that enslavement and colonial domination played in securing the past and present prosperity of enslaving and colonial powers. Those histories may sometimes refer to the past brutalities of colonialism and slavery, but very rarely do they make explicit the public and private beneficiaries of slavery and colonialism. Member States must take urgent steps to ensure representative and accurate accounts of slavery, colonialism and their contemporary legacies, including in their education systems. Ensuring historical and political consciousness, especially among contemporary beneficiaries of slavery and colonialism, is an important step towards building the requisite political will to make reparations a reality. Ahistorical understandings of the present operate as a barrier to achieving reparations.
