The ‘Dubs amendment’, introduced by the Peer Lord Dubs, aimed to help some of the estimated 90,000 unaccompanied migrant children across Europe. In response, the Government promised to a goal to bring 3,000 unaccompanied children to the UK, commonly now known as the Dubs amendment. Many people believed that the Government would fulfill this promise but they have now ‘gone back on their word’. The Dubs amendment was a separate commitment to the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement (VPR)- taking refugees from the ‘region’. Child refugees are languishing in Camps through Europe at a risk of trafficking and modern day slavery.
We the undersigned ask the Government to honour its original ‘Dubs amendment’ commitment;

Britain shares a major responsibility for the chaos in the Middle East and must accept the consequences, although the humanitarian argument is more than sufficient on its own.
We have a moral responsibility to provide help to these children; the Government has a moral duty to honour its original commitment.

There would be much fewer refugees if the UK stopped manufacturing arms/bombs/et al
This commitment must be adhered to as a basic act of humanity and decency
Please, Just do the 'right' thing!
If we are to set the standards of human rights for the world, then we should honour our commitments!

Even 3,000 is too few. The idea of providing even less help than this is appalling. As fellow human beings, we owe it to these children to help to the best of our ability.
