Petition Make it government policy to campaign to outlaw private military companies

Since the murder of Khashoggi, our government has struggled to know how to respond to Saudi Arabia. There have been calls to end arms sales. However, there are other sellers. Outlawing private military companies, which are being used in the Yemen war, could be effective.

More details

Private military companies can create many security threats. They can be hard to hold accountable for war crimes. Being profit driven, private military companies might take dangerous clients if they’re the highest bidder.
