How and under what conditions must refugees follow the laws of the countries in which they now reside in? Concerning the specific circumstances of asylum seekers, we believe two contradictory intuitions emerge: 1) The refugee is obligated to uphold the legal requirements of their new-fangled nation; and 2) None of the commonly explored theories of political obligation, consent, tacit assent, fairness, or social role adequately explains the existence of this duty. This is due to two factors: first, it is considered that refugees must follow the laws of the new country; and second, it is assumed that refugees must follow their new country's laws. we argue that the unpopular gratitude account of political obligation best explains intuitions and that this is the account that should be used in the future. In furtherance, some observers believe that appreciation responsibilities are difficult to define and vulnerable to a wide range of conditions that could result in their cancellation. After careful consideration of these realities, we have concluded that in order to embrace the refugee's political commitment, which is based on gratitude, it is also imperative to note the ease with which these responsibilities can be broken. Adherence to accountability is notably contingent on refugees being treated with compassion and common sense that recognizes their inherent worth as individuals.
