Treatment Referring to the current law on refugees, the research recommends that an initial 3 years of stay for recognized stateless persons and 6 months for applicants be given, which can be subsequently renewed until the basis for granting status ceases. For recognized stateless persons, the proposed provision explicitly stipulates that the application of the 1954 Convention takes precedence over other domestic laws on the status of non-Koreans and exempts them from reciprocity requirements. Recognized stateless persons shall be issued with travel documents, and they shall enjoy the same right to work, social security, and education as recognized refugees. Considering the spirit of the 1954 Convention to facilitate the naturalisation of stateless persons, recognised stateless persons shall have access to simplified naturalisation procedure which requires 3 years of residency. Considering that the right to family reunification under the current Refugee Act is somewhat limited, scope of family was defined widely. For applicants, provisions on limiting detention, living support, work permit, medical and housing support, and right to education were included to ensure a certain level of treatment until the end of the SDP.
