Bring David Cameron to justice for genocide and war crimes against Syria.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Bring David Cameron (plus any other MP's connected) to justice for genocide, war crimes, terrorist acts and crimes against humanity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. These actions clearly breach: Kellogg-Briand Pact - The UN Charter - The United Nations Act 1946 - Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal 1946
1.That the war with Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria is illegal can be ascertained by reference to the terms of:
(i) The Treaty for the Renunciation of War 1928 [Kellogg-Briand Pact]
(ii) The UN Charter in which 192 States have agreed never to threaten or use force, to respect human rights and to settle all disputes by peaceful means
(iii) The United Nations Act 1946 which limits the deployment of HM Forces
(iv) The Judgement of the Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal 1946


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:
