UK must abide by the UN Convention Rights of Child & consult children on Brexit
Signing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UK Government has agreed to consult all UK Children in "all matters affecting" them, their views "being given due weight in accordance with the age and maturity of the child". This has not happened re BREXIT, which affects all their futures.
UK signed UNCRC in 1989, this is the world's most signed Treaty, we have a duty in international law to uphold its provisions.
Children have a RIGHT to be consulted, Brexit is the biggest decision in their lives, it will affect them longer/more than anyone else living in the UK.
The Convention's incorporated into Welsh law, Scottish Parliament's consulting on this, England not. But it is a binding Treaty obligation.
They have not been consulted Brexit must not be decided until they have.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
