Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Under international law, it is legal for a person to apply for asylum in any country that has signed the 1951 Geneva Convention and to remain there until the authorities have assessed their claim.
You could start a new petition asking the UK Government to withdraw from international treaties that give people the right to seek asylum in the UK, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
