REASONS FOR JUDGMENT Mr Perez is a citizen of Peru, who arrived in Australia on 16 December 1996. On 11 March 1997, he lodged an application for a protection visa with the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) ("the Act"). On 14 June 1997, a delegate acting on behalf of the Minister refused to grant the visa. On 18 July 1997, the applicant sought review of that decision by the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the RRT"). The RRT, on 8 July 1998, delivered reasons for its decision, which affirmed the delegate's decision not to grant a protection visa. A criterion for the grant of a protection visa is that, at the time of the decision, the applicant is a person to whom Australia has protection obligations under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees as amended by the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. Article 1A(2) of the Convention defines a "refugee" as any person who: "…owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; …" (Emphasis added) Mr Perez stated that he was at school from 1978 to 1989. From January 1990 to December 1996 he worked at a restaurant as a manager.
