A/HRC/19/58 are, however, a number of States from which the Working Group has requested invitations to visit and which have not been forthcoming. There are others which have informally invited and/or confirmed invitations, but for which specific dates to visit have not been agreed. The Working Group therefore calls upon all States with pending requests for visits and those that have agreed to visits to respond as soon as possible with specific dates. 712. The Working Group once again calls upon Governments that have not signed and/or ratified the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance to do so as soon as possible and to accept the competence of the Committee to receive individual cases, under article 31, and inter-State complaints under article 32 of the Convention. 713. The Working Group welcomes that the United Nations declared 30 August International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. It further notes that 2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption by the General Assembly of the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, and encourages all States to translate it with no distinction between languages and dialects since all serve the purpose of assisting in its global dissemination and the ultimate goal of prevention of enforced disappearances. 714. The Working Group is grateful to the Government of Argentina and France for their financial and human resource contributions, which allowed the Working Group to have enhanced support. The Working Group reminds the United Nations of the limited regular budget made available to it and calls for greater assistance to allow it to accomplish its mandate. 140
