Individuals might seek refuge in a non-extradition country to avoid facing legal consequences in their home country, such as criminal charges or political persecution. Legal implications of seeking refuge in a non-extradition country can vary; while the host country might refuse to extradite, the fugitive may still face arrest and prosecution if they travel to a country with an extradition treaty with their home country. Additionally, the individual's actions could strain diplomatic relations between the two nations.
