Deploy a United Nations peace keeping force in Anglophone regions of Cameroon

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The English Speaking Cameroonians are being arrested, tortured & killed by the opposing French Speaking government & rebel groups in Cameroon. My work with the Cameroonian population demonstrates that there are gross infringements on Human Rights which calls for intervention by the United Nations.
My work as a Community Psychiatric Nurse with Refugee & Asylum populations in the West Midlands has brought to my attention the needs of the English Speaking Cameroonian population. My clients are the victims of political torture & have fled to the UK to seek asylum. They have left behind friends & family, some of whom are missing & some that are still being tortured-as evidenced by video footage & graphic images. Without further intervention it seems likely that this will become genocide.

Why it was rejected

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

This petition is calling on the UN, not the UK Government or Parliament, to take action.
