[Ground of recognition] Evidence Nos. 1 through 4, Evidence Nos. 1 through 4, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The gist of the plaintiff's assertion is that the plaintiff was a swelian, and after the plaintiff's father who was the president of the village died, the plaintiff was demanded to succeed to the position of the president from the third villages, and the plaintiff refused, and the third villages are threatening to kill the plaintiff.

In the event that the plaintiff returns to his own country, the disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee despite the threat of murder from the third villages is unlawful.

B. In full view of the provisions of Article 2 subparag. 1 and Article 18 of the Refugee Act, Article 1 of the Refugee Convention, and Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, foreigners in the Republic of Korea who are unable to be protected by the country of nationality or who do not want to be protected by the country of nationality due to well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, should be recognized as refugee. “persecution” which is the requirement for recognition of refugee refers to “an act causing serious infringement or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body or freedom,” and thus, a foreigner applying for recognition of refugee is sufficient.
