REASONS FOR ORDER
NADON J.
[1] The plaintiff is challenging a decision of the Refugee Division on August 5, 1999 that he is not a Convention refugee.
[2] Despite the very able argument of Ms. Kelepdjian, the plaintiff did not persuade the Court that the Refugee Division made an error that would justify its intervention.
[3] Firstly, relying on Ward,[1] a judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Refugee Division concluded that there was no valid fear of persecution as the plaintiff had not persuaded it that Peru was refusing or was unable to protect him. In my opinion, based on the evidence this conclusion is in no way unreasonable.
[4] Secondly, the Refugee Division had doubts about the plaintiff's subjective fear. In my opinion the evidence in the record was sufficient to justify the Refugee Division's doubts about the plaintiff's subjective fear.
[5] The application for judicial review will accordingly be denied.
