所造成，而其中还参杂了种族和性别的不平等关系”。5 对奴隶制和殖民主义的赔偿除了针对个人的不法行为之外，还针对了促成奴隶制和殖民主义且当今依然支撑着种族歧视和不平等的整个法律、经济、社会和政治结构。据此，对奴隶制和殖民主义作出赔偿的紧迫的计划要求各国不仅履行因特定历史上的不法行为而产生的补救义务，而且还需要改变当代种族不公正、不平等、歧视和从属关系的社会结构，因为这种结构是通过奴隶制和殖民主义所建立的长达几个世纪种族主义机制的产物。
In addition to implicating individual wrongful acts, reparations for slavery and colonialism implicate entire legal, economic, social and political structures that enabled slavery and colonialism, and which continue to sustain racial discrimination and inequality today. That means that the urgent project of providing reparations for slavery and colonialism requires States not only to fulfil remedial obligations resulting from specific historical wrongful acts, but also to transform contemporary structures of racial injustice, inequality, discrimination and subordination that are the product of the centuries of racial machinery built through slavery and colonialism.
