The Working Group therefore calls upon all States with pending requests for visits to respond favourably to them in the light of Human Rights Council resolution 21/4, and those that have agreed to visits to respond as soon as possible with specific dates. 119. Observing that many of the commissions of inquiry and other fact-finding or investigative bodies created by the Human Rights Council gather abundant information on human rights violations, including enforced disappearances, the Working Group recommends that the Council consider giving the Working Group a role in the follow-up to these findings once the mandate of those commissions or bodies ends, including by providing for the possibility of transferring the information concerning cases of enforced disappearances to the Working Group. 120. The Working Group continues the practice of holding one session per year outside Geneva to inter alia facilitate the interaction with relatives of the disappeared and raise awareness of the Working Group’s mandate and activities at the local and regional level. It appreciates the invitation received from Morocco to host a session during the reporting period, as well as that from the Republic of Korea to host in Seoul a session in 2017. The Working Group invites other countries to follow those good examples. 121. The Working Group once again calls upon States that have not signed and/or ratified the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance to do so as soon as possible and to accept the competence of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances to receive individual cases under article 31, and inter-State complaints under article 32 of the Convention. 25
