Hey Historians
I am in the middle of writing an exam in the german culture of remembrance after 1990. My subject is the German remembrance of their colonial times centered around their history with Namibia and furthermore the deal of reparations between the two countries (2021). My teacher has asked me to go in-depth with international law revolving around the deal of reparations between the two countries. My problem is; I have no clue what International law is or what it has to do with a deal/conflict between 2 independent countries.
I am also looking for first-hand sources about the deal that can tell me something about the German culture of remembrance, as I have been unsuccessful in my own search.
Anybody who has a clue? or some credible sources in German or English?
Thank you in advance
