Majority AGAINST, passes anyway:

314 against, 276 in favor, 17 abstentions

In case anyone wants to know: stopping it would have required 361 against.

And more than a hundred did not vote, if they wanted to vote no they could have. But they didn’t so they’re implicitly in favor.

The fact that governments worldwide do not force either a vote for or against is a much greater issue as it allows representatives to launder their beliefs through inaction.
