Part V is never going to fly in the United States, as it would require amending the constitution to comply. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be a good thing, I'm just saying that the chance of the United States becoming fully compliant with the resolution is about as good as the chance of China leaving Tibet.

That said, the resolution will probably make a positive change to the political playing field and may instigate improvements in the treatment of indigenous peoples even in countries that never fully embrace it.
