Access to the IRC is regulated by AWAS. Family members are not granted access and only a limited number of NGOs and the UNHCR are granted access. JRS reported that in 2023 the organisation did not experience any issues regarding access to reception centres.
Access to open centres is also regulated by AWAS and permission is required. Criteria to be granted access to the centres are unclear. Permission is not easily granted to non-service-related visits, as is the case for academics, friends, research students, reporters, etc.
