1. Details of the disposition;

A. On November 30, 2014, the Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea on a short-term visit (C-3) visa as a foreigner of Ghana or nationality, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on December 17, 2014.

B. On October 23, 2015, the Defendant issued a disposition of non-recognition of refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) on the ground that the Plaintiff cannot be deemed as having “a well-founded fear that the Plaintiff would suffer from persecution” as stipulated in Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees (hereinafter “Refugee”) and Article 1 of the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees (hereinafter “Refugee Protocol”).

C. As to this, the Plaintiff filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on November 30, 2015, but was dismissed on March 23, 2016.

[Ground of recognition] Evidence Nos. 1 through 4, Evidence Nos. 1 and 2 (including paper numbers), the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff asserted that he/she was married to the Maternian in July 2014 and informed his/her family of the fact that he/she was married to the Maternian. Since then, the Plaintiff was subject to violence and intimidation three times from the Maternian relationship B and C.

If the plaintiff returned to Ghana, the disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee is unlawful despite the possibility that the plaintiff might be harmed by reason of religion.

B. (1) 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 or do not want to be protected in 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, and “persecution” which is a requirement for recognition of refugee means “any act causing serious infringement or discrimination against essential human dignity, including threats to life, body or freedom.”
