Defend the rule of law
The rule of law is a principle under which everyone is accountable to laws that are publicly promulgated and equally enforced. Recent statements by Ministers that erode this principle should be withdrawn. Parliament should reject legislative proposals that infringe international treaty commitments.
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:
We understand that you are concerned about a recent statement by Ministers, but it is not clear what action you want the Government or House of Commons to take.
All legislation has to be considered by Parliament, and it is up to MPs and peers whether to approve this. Decisions about whether the Government is in breach of international law would be a matter for international courts.
If you are concerned about the Government's legislative proposals regarding the implementation of the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement, you might like to sign the following petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/550558
