Right of access to information

The Intelligence Ombudsman has an extensive right of access to information and the right to receive reports on intelligence activities from public authorities or parties with public administration duties. The Ombudsman may also carry out inspections on the premises of public authorities and other parties with public administration duties.

The Intelligence Ombudsman may order the use of an intelligence gathering method to be suspended or stopped, if the Ombudsman considers that the authority acted illegally in the course of its intelligence activities.
