This vote makes no difference whatsoever. The UN can't truly bind any state to any action. Why would the US participate when we're the biggest bully on the block? We're only in it for public perception, and most importantly, the veto.

    If it doesn't do anything then it doesn't cost anything to vote for it. The US opposition to it was weirdly that it both is just symbolical and doesn't have concrete steps and that it forces bad things on the US (companies)
