Try David Cameron for War crimes against Humanity.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Air strikes in Syria will only fuel the terrorism of tomorrow. The killing of innocent men, women and children is not the path we should take. We call ourselves civilised but we are barbaric. David Cameron should be taken to trial for war crimes against humanity.

Why it was rejected

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

Trials for war crimes are the responsibility of the International Criminal Court (ICC). You can find out more about the ICC here:
