1. Details of the disposition;

A. The Plaintiff entered the Republic of Korea on June 26, 2016 under the nationality of the Republic of Egypt (hereinafter referred to as “Egypt”), and applied for refugee status to the Defendant on July 29, 2016, after entering the Republic of Korea with the tourism channel (B-2) sojourn status.

B. On August 18, 2016, 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. The Plaintiff appealed and filed an objection with the Minister of Justice on September 19, 2016, but the Minister of Justice dismissed the Plaintiff’s objection on December 22, 2016.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, entries in Gap evidence 1 to 4 (including paper numbers) and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The gist of the plaintiff's assertion is that the plaintiff's punishment may be threatened with retaliation from his/her surviving family members who died of self-defense.

Therefore, if the plaintiff returned to Egypt, it shall be deemed that there is a risk of persecution, and the disposition of this case which did not recognize the plaintiff as a refugee should be deemed 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, and Article 1 of the Refugee Protocol, foreigners who, owing to a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, are unable or do not want the protection of the country of nationality, or who, owing to such fear, cannot return to, or do not want to return to, the country of nationality that had resided before entering the Republic of Korea, should be recognized as a refugee, and the requirements for recognition of refugee are satisfied.
