The 285-281 vote was nonbinding and thus "largely symbolic" but it's a hell of a symbol.
The resolution passed called on member states to "drop any criminal charges against Edward Snowden, grant him protection and consequently prevent extradition or rendition by third parties, in recognition of his status as whistleblower and international human rights defender."
Snowden called it "not a blow against the US Government, but an open hand extended by friends. It is a chance to move forward."
