B. On March 9, 2015, the Defendant rendered 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 he 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”).

[Ground of recognition] Evidence Nos. 1 through 4, Evidence Nos. 1 and 2, and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion and the plaintiff's family members are human ties.
Inasmuch as the Plaintiff, a soldier, reported to the government information on the family members of the Sim-ri Party B, could be stuffed by B in his own country, the instant disposition that did not recognize the Plaintiff as a refugee is unlawful.
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, Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, and Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, a foreigner in the Republic of Korea who is unable to be protected or does 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, must be recognized as a refugee. The term “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 the foreigner applying for recognition of refugee.
