For, though I think the resolution is rather spongy.
In fact, every nation can interprete whatever it wants into "the fullest extent of the law" and into "provide counseling and medical care". For example, Saidercray will provide a very lot of counseling and medical care, whereas "the fullest extent of the law" won't mean extreme punishment. For us, rehabilitation is better and more important than punishment. Other nations which think punishment is more important will translate the resolution into action in a way that's very different to ours.
The only real effect of the resolution will be that necrophile acts (not necrophilia itself, the title is a bit unfortunate) will be outlawed in the - probably very few - UN states where they aren't outlawed yet. For the vast majority, nothing will really change.
Yet, this one effect is an effect Saidercray supports as it serves to establish a UN-wide moral minimum that all nations have in common.
