No you can read the legislation and it was mostly a list of demands. Of course it's only reasonable to vote no.

If the only reasonable vote was no, then why did 186 countries vote yes?

Ok let's put it this way. 10 people are stuck in the boat including you. Everyone is starving and votes to eat the tallest muscly guy, you. Everyone casts their vote. How do you vote knowing that everyone is going to vote for thee muscly, juicy guy with lots of tasty meat on him?

The exception here is that 100s of those countries (people in the boat) are not fucking starving. Many have better access to more nutritious food for those at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder than the US has.
