Rejected petition Close loopholes allowing British investment in companies making cluster bombs
More details
Despite the UK being a signatory to the Convention on Cluster Munitions treaty that prohibits the use, transfer and stockpile of cluster bombs, British banks are still legally able to fund and invest in companies that produce these weapons.
The government should close loopholes that allow manipulation of the system designed to protect innocent civilians.
