德国议员周三辩论了反对党提出的提案，呼吁完全承认德国对如今纳米比亚的奥瓦赫雷罗和纳马人民在殖民时代所犯种族灭绝行为的法律责任，并直接向受害者后裔支付赔偿。
German lawmakers debated opposition proposals Wednesday calling for full recognition of the country's legal responsibility for the colonial-era genocide against the OvaHerero and Nama peoples in present-day Namibia, along with reparations paid directly to victims' descendants.
联邦议院就社会党左翼党和环保党绿党分别提出的动议进行了30分钟的辩论，并将两项动议提交外交事务委员会进一步审议。
The Bundestag held a 30-minute debate on separate motions submitted by the socialist Left Party and the environmentalist Greens, referring both to the Foreign Affairs Committee for further consideration.
左翼党呼吁政府正式承认“在国际法下承担全部历史责任和法律责任”，针对德意志帝国所犯下的暴行。
The Left Party called on the government to formally acknowledge "full historical responsibility and legal liability under international law" for the atrocities committed by the German Empire.
其动议还要求立即、全面地直接向被杀害或受迫害者的后裔支付赔偿。
Its motion also demanded immediate, comprehensive reparations paid directly to the descendants of those killed or persecuted.
绿党则呼吁德意志联邦共和国向纳米比亚和受害者后裔道歉，并归还目前藏在德国馆藏中的文化文物和人类遗骸。
The Greens called for an official apology by the Federal Republic of Germany to Namibia and the victims' descendants, as well as the return of cultural artifacts and human remains held in German collections.

The debate also saw a protest against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), with Left Party lawmakers turning their backs as AfD deputy Ronald Glaeser addressed parliament.
另一位AfD议员亚历山大·沃尔夫批评这些动议，认为它们体现了“左翼绿色意识形态者”的德国自我厌恶，而非对纳米比亚的真正关切。
Fellow AfD lawmaker Alexander Wolf criticized the motions, arguing that they reflected "German self-hatred" among "left-green ideologues" rather than genuine concern for Namibia.
