The resolution requests the UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres to allocate the necessary resources in order to organise and support the work of the ad hoc committee within the UN regular budget.

Before the vote, Finland, on behalf of the European Union, and the United States spoke against the idea and called for negative votes.

Russia and China asked for support of the draft.
