Petition · past parliament

No British military air strikes in Syria without a full vote in parliament.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

While condemning the use of chemical weapons by any side, we believe that the use of UK weaponry and armed forces in air strikes on a sovereign country risks the escalation of a local conflict to a global scale and must not be carried out without the full approval of Parliament.

Why it was rejected
