[Ground of recognition] Evidence Nos. 1 through 3, Evidence Nos. 1 through 6, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The main point of the Plaintiff’s assertion is that the Plaintiff was at all the same time with the Muslim punishment group, and thus, he would be subject to a homicide if he returns to his own country.

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, a foreigner in the Republic of Korea who is unable to be protected or does not want to be protected from 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 a 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 a “comfortablely-founded fear” subject to such persecution and all pleadings.
