Rejected petition Get Tony Blair and George Bush charged with war crimes over the invasion of Iraq

In 2001 Tony Blair and U.S President George Bush led this country into a bloody conflict in the middle east based on utter lies and deception. Millions of innocent citizens were killed to get "weapons of mass destruction" that were never there in the first place.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Charges and trials for war crimes are the responsibility of the International Criminal Court (ICC). You can find out more about the ICC here:

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