Rejected petition Charge gov. ministers who knowingly act against the interests of the country

If the government has commissioned reports regarding an intended action, and those reports indicate that taking the action would damage the country, ministers who pursue the action should be charged with a criminal offence.

More details

Obviously there are some reports whose contents are withheld from the public for some considerable time after the event to which they are relevant. In these circumstances, there should be no statute of limitations that would allow ministers to escape responsibility for their actions.
