1. Details of the disposition;

A. On August 5, 2016, the Plaintiff, a foreigner of Moroc’s nationality, entered the Republic of Korea as a sojourn status for visa exemption (B-1) and stayed, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on August 29, 2016.

B. On September 19, 2016, the Defendant rendered a decision on the recognition of refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) 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 dissatisfied with the instant disposition and filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on October 20, 2016, but was dismissed on February 24, 2017, and the Plaintiff received a notice of dismissal decision on April 5, 2017.

[Reasons for Recognition] Unsatisfy, Gap evidence 1, 2, Eul evidence 1 and 2, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion is at a risk of being confined to prison because he/she borrowed money from Morocco while running his/her business.

Therefore, the defendant's disposition of this case made on a different premise is unlawful even though the plaintiff was a refugee suffering from persecution.

B. (1) Determination (1) Article 2 Subparag. 1 of the Refugee Act provides that a refugee refers to a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected by a country of nationality due to a well-founded fear of being recognized that he/she may be imprisoned on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, due to such fear, cannot return to or does not want to return to a country in which he/she had resided before entering the Republic of Korea.

At this time, the term "persecution" to be received by the foreigner, as well as the threat to life, body or freedom, is important for the essential human dignity.
