A. On June 8, 2010, the Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea on June 8, 2010, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on March 23, 2015.

B. On May 29, 2015, the Defendant rendered a disposition of non-recognition of refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) to the Plaintiff on the ground that the Plaintiff cannot be deemed as having “a sufficiently-founded fear of persecution” as stipulated in Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol on the Status of Refugees.

[Ground of recognition] Evidence Nos. 1 through 4, Evidence Nos. 1 through 5, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The gist of the Plaintiff’s assertion was as follows: (a) people belonging to the organization of SJMta Jya Mukti Mukti Mscha found the Plaintiff’s high-speed and demanded the Plaintiff’s family members to pay donations; and (b) threatening the Plaintiff’s refusal to do so.

Nevertheless, the instant disposition that did not recognize the Plaintiff as a refugee 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, Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, 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. “persecution” which is a 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 a foreigner applying for recognition of refugee status must prove that there is “confisently-founded fear” subject to such persecution.
