1. Details of the disposition;

A. On June 29, 2016, the Plaintiff, a national of the Republic of South Africa, entered the Republic of Korea with the Tourism Tong (B-2) sojourn status on June 29, 2016, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on July 4, 2016.

B. On April 18, 2017, the Defendant rendered a decision on the recognition of refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) to the Plaintiff on the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion does not constitute a case of “a well-founded fear that would be subject to persecution” as a requirement of refugee under Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol on the Status of Refugees.

C. The Plaintiff filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on April 20, 2017, but the said objection was dismissed on the same ground as December 7, 2017.

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1, 2 evidence, Eul 1 and 2 evidence, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion was originally suslim, but around 2015, the Plaintiff was threatened with the suslim in the Josberg region where the Plaintiff had resided.

Therefore, the defendant's disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee despite high possibility that the plaintiff would be subject to gambling when he returns to the country of nationality is illegal.

B. 1) Determination 1) “Refugee” means a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected due to well-founded fear that he/she may be harmed on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a particular social group, or political opinion, or a foreigner who is not a national who, due to such fear, cannot return to the country in which he/she had resided before entering the Republic of Korea or does not want to return to the country in which he/she had resided (Article 2 Subparag. 1). 2 of the Refugee Act), which serves as the requirement for the recognition of refugee status, causes serious infringement of, or discrimination against, inherent human dignity, including threats to life, body or freedom.
