Refugees obligated to abide by the law of the country they seek asylum

Refugees' Obligations

Under Article 2 of the 1951 UN Convention, every refugee has duties to the country in which she/he finds her/himself. In particular, the person must conform to its laws and regulations as well as to measures taken for the maintenance of public order. Refugees have equal not preferential treatment before the law.
