Poland appealed Tuesday to the United Nations for assistance in Warsaw’s efforts to get Germany to pay reparations due to damages sustained during World War II.

Arkadiusz Moliarczyk, Poland’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, made an appeal to U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres and U.N. Human Rights Council Volker Turk for their “cooperation” and stated that Berlin was not responsive in its requests for compensation for the “damage caused by German aggression in 1939-1945.”

According to Polish news outlet PAP, he stated that “We are asking for you to intervene, to create an appropriate platform for dialogue with Germany,”

An earlier report suggested Warsaw was seeking compensation from Berlin for damages exceeding $1 trillion.

Muliarczyk made an appeal to the U.N.’s world heritage protector agency and requested $11.7 billion from UNESCO for “losses within the field of culture and art as well as historical and religious buildings.”

In a December address, he stated that “our expectations and actions are based upon professional scientific analyses.”

Muliarczyk tweeted Tuesday that he had spoken to more than 50 EU countries, NATO, NATO, General Staff of Council of Europe and UNESCO.

Fox News Digital was unable to immediately reach U.N. officials for comment.

According to reports, the Polish deputy minister who initiated the push for reparations in September stated that the purpose of appealing internationally to partners and organizations was to stress the “problem of unaccounted-for crimes.”

Although Poland was not the first country to be invaded in Nazi Germany, it became one of the most severely affected countries during WWII. Adolf Hitler’s troops invaded Poland and established concentration camps.

The Soviet Union invaded the East just 16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland’s west coast.

Andrzej Duda, the Polish president, has called for Russia to make reparations for the damage it caused to the country and the Poles.

It is estimated that approximately 5.6 million Polish civilians were killed in WWII.
