What is a Refugee Appeal? (Article 21, Paragraph 2 of the Refugee Act)
▪ This is a procedure to request remedy of rights from the Minister of Justice, the superior authority, against decisions such as the regional immigration and foreigner office's refugee non-recognition decision.
▪ It can be filed more simply and at lower cost than administrative litigation, and receives fair and professional review by the Refugee Committee composed of internal and external experts with specialized knowledge and experience in the refugee field.
▪ Administrative appeal or administrative litigation can also be filed against refugee non-recognition decisions, but if an appeal is filed with the Minister of Justice, administrative appeal cannot be filed. However, even if an appeal is filed with the Minister of Justice, administrative litigation can still be filed against the refugee non-recognition decision.
