Rejected petition: Open an Inquiry into British Nationals Accused of War Crimes in Gaza
Rejected on
Instruct the Metropolitan Police to immediately open a formal inquiry into the credible allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by ten British nationals in Gaza, as outlined in the 240-page dossier submitted by legal experts.
The victims of these alleged war crimes deserve justice. Act against impunity. The rule of law must be upheld. The UK’s reputation as a defender of human rights must be restored. Democracy itself depends on institutions that are worthy of the public’s trust. This petition is a demand for action. Why won’t the Police open an inquiry?
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether to open an investigation into potential crimes are the responsibility of the police not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
