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.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government has not proposed to ban public bodies from criticising nations. The December 2019 Queen's Speech included proposals to prevent public institutions from imposing boycotts against foreign countries or those who trade with them. You can read more about it here -
You could start a new petition asking that the Government not prevent public institutions from boycott countries, if that's what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
