What are petition debates?
Petition debates are ‘general’ debates which allow MPs from all parties to discuss the important issues raised by one or more petitions, and put their concerns to Government Ministers.
Petition debates don’t end with a vote to implement the request of a petition. This means that MPs will not vote on the issues raised in the petition at the end of the debate.
The Petitions Committee can only schedule debates on petitions to parliament started on petition.parliament.uk

In July 1995, over 8000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were murdered in Srebrenica by Bosnian Serb forces in a killing recognized by international courts as genocide.
Today, three survivors work at the Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial — keeping the record against those who deny it happened.
This is the opening of The Memory Keepers of Srebrenica, a short documentary produced by the United Nations to mark the commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide.
Full film on the United Nations YouTube channel on 9 July.
