Recently, political actors in Tanzania have demanded compensation from Germany for colonial atrocities against various ethnic and religious groups during the Maji-Maji uprising (1905–1907). By analyzing first-hand archival records from Germany and Tanzania, this article examines whether German actions constitute genocide according to the Genocide Convention or the International Criminal Tribunals’ jurisprudence. The authors find strong evidence to support a claim of genocide, and assess the viability of potential compensation claims against Germany; they conclude, however, that such claims would meet significant obstacles due to the concept of state immunity for sovereign actions under international customary law, as well as case law of the International Court of Justice.

是在平息 Maji-Maji 起义种族灭绝吗？从国际刑法的角度评价德国的行为

最近，坦桑尼亚的政治人物要求德国赔偿在马吉-马吉起义（1905-1907 年）期间针对不同种族和宗教群体的殖民暴行。本文通过分析德国和坦桑尼亚的第一手档案记录，考察德国的行为是否构成种族灭绝公约或国际刑事法庭判例的种族灭绝。作者找到了强有力的证据来支持种族灭绝的说法，并评估了针对德国的潜在赔偿要求的可行性；然而，他们的结论是，由于国际习惯法以及国际法院判例法下主权行动的国家豁免概念，此类主张将遇到重大障碍。
