Domestic laws and policies in Ethiopia do provide for the right of recourse to effective administrative or judicial remedies for any decision on family reunification for refugees. The Ethiopian Constitution, as per Article 37(1), recognizes the right of everyone, including refugees, to bring a justiciable matter to a court of law or any other competent body with judicial power. This provision applies to all individuals, irrespective of citizenship, indicating that refugees have the right to access justice. Article 30(1) of the Refugee Proclamation states that refugees are entitled to the same treatment as nationals regarding bringing any justiciable matter to court or any other competent body with judicial power.

Article 5(1) of the Refugees and Returnees Grievances and Appeals Handling Directive, Directive No. 03/2019, grants refugees the right to complain to the concerned official or a higher official regarding the services provided by the Refugee and Returnee Service (RRS) not being properly provided. This provision can be relevant in cases where decisions on family reunification are not properly implemented or if there are grievances related to the process. Therefore, it can be inferred that refugees in Ethiopia have the legal right to recourse to effective administrative or judicial remedies for any decision on family reunification.
