德国承认它对纳米比亚负有道义和历史责任，16 并开展了“有针对性的发展项目”。17 尽管德国现在将 Ovaherero 大屠杀称为种族灭绝，但据报道，该国是以非法律意义方式作出这一宣称的，而且拒绝承认对大屠杀负有法律义务。18 此外，工作组在其关于 2017 年对德国访问的报告中指出，德国迄今并未与这场种族灭绝的少数群体和土著受害者的合法代表进行认真协商，以讨论赔偿问题。19
Germany has acknowledged that it has a moral and historical responsibility to Namibia16 and has conducted “targeted development projects”.17 Although Germany now refers to the Ovaherero massacre as a genocide, it reportedly does so in a non-legal sense and refuses to acknowledge a legal obligation for the massacre. 18 Furthermore, the Working Group, in its report on its mission to Germany of 2017, noted that Germany had thus far not consulted seriously with the lawful representative s of the minority and indigenous victims of that genocide to discuss reparations. 19
