You did notice that this is not a legally binding declaration, i.e.
"...said the United Kingdom representative, because of the intransigence of those who were not prepared to recognize that other sovereign States might decide to permit strictly controlled applications of therapeutic cloning. Echoing the views of a number of speakers, he said
the Declaration was a non-binding political statement..."
Basically each nations representative voted to state their opinion on the issue. This news release is basically a statement that the U.N. could not reach a concensus and shows who voted, how they voted and who didn't vote at all.
