This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure whether you want the Government to withdraw from all asylum treaties, or to allow for certain cases that you would describe as "genuine asylum claims"

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
