This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Laws in other countries are a matter for the governments and legislatures of those countries, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to work with foreign governments to end child labour practices, or to impose additional requirements on UK businesses to ensure that their supply chains do not involve child labour.

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