A/CONF.2/96

The Contracting States shall do all within their power to prevent the refugee problem from becoming a cause of friction between States. To this end, they shall forbid all hostile activity on the part of political or other refugee organizations directed against the country of origin of the refugees concerned and intended to create tension in the relations between that state and those in which the refugees are living; all activity aimed at inciting the nationals of other countries to seek refuge or at preventing voluntary repatriation; activity designed to exploit the difficult position of refugees, with a view to using it for political ends contrary to the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter. They shall further forbid the creation of refugee military formations.
