personally I don't like politicians wasting time on 'nonbinding' resolutions. IMHO, politicians should spend their time working on things that have actual value such as enacting or amending needed laws, negotiating or studying something that needs attention, budgeting, etc. If they merely want to express a viewpoint, then they can issue a press statement and move on. I think voters should get their money's worth of their labour whilst they are 'on the clock' on the public's tab.
