This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government and Parliament do not have the power to take a Minister to court for human rights abuses.

If you would like the UK Government or Parliament to investigate or launch a public inquiry on the human rights implications of specific DWP policies, we could accept a petition on that. Alternatively, if you would like a specific law or policy relating to the work of the DWP to be changed, we could also accept a petition on that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
