More details from petition creator
In the light of Tony Blair’s statement to parliament on 18/3/03 that “the oil revenues, which people falsely claim that we want to seize, should be put in a trust fund for the Iraqi people administered through the UN”, the statement from the Iraqi trade unions that “We strongly reject the privatization of our oil wealth, [] and there is no room for discussing this matter. This is the demand of the Iraqi street, and the privatization of oil is a red line that may not be crossed.”, and reports in the Independent (Future of Iraq: The spoils of war 7/1/07) that Iraq's oil is “about to be thrown open for large-scale exploitation by Western oil companies under a controversial law which is expected to come before the Iraqi parliament within days.” we petition Tony Blair to keep his word, support the Iraqi people and ensure that Western corporations are not allowed to pressure the fragile Iraqi government to sign contracts to privatise Iraq’s oil
