Cameron to face War Crimes Trial - Breaking International Law in Yemen

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The government has known for many months that Saudi Arabia are involved in genocide in Yemen and are deliberately bombing civilians. The MOD licence weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. It is illegal under International Law to do this where it is suspected that these weapons are being used on civilians

The BBC made a documentary- Yemen's forgotten war which was broadcast many months ago. It showed Saudi Arabia deliberately bombing refugee camps in Yemen. Following the documentary a spokesman for the MOD was interviewed about breaking International Law licensing Arm sales to Saudi knowing this was happening. The spokesman didn't reply

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:
