459. The Working Group also remains committed to assisting States in ensuring that their
legislation and other measures are in conformity with the Declaration, by providing their
expertise in this regard.
460. The Working Group notes with satisfaction that 79 countries have signed and five have
ratified the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced
Disappearance. The Working Group is committed to cooperating with the committee under the
Convention when it enters into force, and believes that the committee will complement its work
in preventing enforced disappearances. It calls on countries that have not signed and/or ratified
the Convention to do so and to accept the competence of the committee under article 31 and the
inter-State complaint mechanism under article 32 of the Convention.
