B. On January 31, 2017, the Defendant rendered a decision of non-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 of persecution” as a requirement of refugee under Article 1 of the Convention on the Status of Refugees and Article 1 of the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees.

C. The Plaintiff, who is dissatisfied with the instant disposition, filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on February 7, 2017, but was rendered a final decision dismissing the Plaintiff’s application on July 18, 2017.
