2. Whether the disposition is lawful;

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion was threatened by assault against his presumed violent actors in the country of nationality, etc., and thus, the Plaintiff is highly likely to be harmed if the Plaintiff returned to the country of nationality.

Therefore, the instant disposition is unlawful.

B. The term “refugee” refers to a foreigner who is unable or does not want to be protected by the country of nationality due to well-founded fear to recognize that he/she may be injured on the grounds of race, religion, nationality, status as a member of a particular social group, or political opinion, or a stateless foreigner who, owing to such fear, is unable to return to or does not want to return to the country in which he/she resided before entering the Republic of Korea.

(Article 2 Subparag. 1 of the Refugee Act provides that “persecution” means “any act causing serious infringement or discrimination on essential human dignity, including threats to life, body, or freedom,” which serves as the requirement for recognition of refugee status.” As such, there is “a sufficient fear of persecution.”
