1. Details of the disposition;

A. On July 7, 2015, the Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea on a short-term visit (C-3) visa on July 7, 2015, and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on July 13, 2015.

B. On July 30, 2015, the Defendant issued a disposition to recognize refugee status (hereinafter “instant disposition”) on the ground that the Plaintiff cannot be deemed as having “a well-founded fear that the Plaintiff 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”).

C. As to this, the Plaintiff filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on September 10, 2015, but the said objection was dismissed on December 14, 2015.

[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 asserted that he/she was assaulted and threatened with murder on the ground that he/she was married to a slovas pattern around 2014.

If the plaintiff returned to Ghana, the disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee is unlawful despite the possibility that the plaintiff might be harmed by reason of religion.

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.
