To force Pakistan government to sign Hague convention on child abduction

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

In non Hague countries, Pakistan is the most frequent and desirable country for child abduction from U.K. in particular.
Despite having UK-Pakistan protocol on child matters, judges in Pakistan are not aware of it.
First step is to locate abducted kids and than lengthy never ending court battles.

So please, spread the word, I have not seen my kids for an year despite going through all legal avenues due to Pakistani judicial system.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This petition has been rejected because it is about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.

The UK cannot control the sovereign territory of Pakistan. However you could create a new petition that asks the UK Government to take diplomatic steps to encourage the government of Pakistan to take a particular action, which we may be able to accept.
