Jan 3, 2022

Poland on Tuesday appealed to the United Nations to step in and assist with Warsaw’s attempts to have Germany pay reparations for damages incurred during World War II.

Poland’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Arkadiusz Muliarczyk made a direct appeal to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk and the U.N. Human Rights Council for their "cooperation and support" and claimed Berlin had been unresponsive in its calls for "compensation for the damage caused by German aggression and occupation in 1939-1945."

"We are asking you to intervene in this matter, to create a certain platform for dialogue with Germany, which does not want to conduct this dialogue," he said according to Polish news outlet PAP.
