Rejected petition Make prosecution possible for ex-ministers accused of e.g. War Crimes etc.

As a country we need to be respected for our justice. We will not be respected all the time some in high places like Prime Ministers are above the law. Serious crime must be open to prosecution and only malicious prosecution should be prohibited or that intended to frustrate government functioning.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. It is already possible for former ministers to be prosecuted for crimes, so we're not sure what you would like to change. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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