U.N Security Council agrees to choke IS funds

 

 

 

Published : Today, 07:53 PM

 

The U.N Security Council has adopted a resolution aimed to choking the millions of dollar oil sales, antiquities, trafficking, and ransom payment earnings of the self described Islamic State group on Thursday.

Russia drafted the first outline of the measure, which reaffirms the council's resolve to confront the threat posed by the militants who overran parts of Syria and Iraq the past year.

The resolution calls for sanctions against individuals and entities that trade in oil with IS and Al-Qaeda affiliates such as the Al-Nusra Front in Syria. The measure also urges all 193 countries of the United Nations to take 'appropriate steps' to prevent the trade in cultural property from Iraq and Syria and directs the U.N cultural agency UNESCO to help put in place a ban.

A reminder for worldwide governments to prevent helping terrorists from benefiting directly or indirectly from ransom payments or political concessions to secure the safe release of their hostages. That provision was directed at European governments which have found ways to circumvent the ban on paying ransoms to win the release of captive nationals.

The resolution builds on other measures adopted by the council to clamp down on IS revenue streams and combines them into a single effort to hit at militant financing. Drafted under chapter seven of the U.N charter, the resolution can be enforced through sanctions or use of force, even though it does not authorize military force.

And we are getting around to this now. Should have been done months ago.

Just what I was thinking...

Other than this comment I am speechless!

CF,

 

I agree..............what took so long for the obvious to occur?

[elgin]

I can't say much about the IQD I'm just not that educated on it. I have severed in the military and can tell you the U.N. is rotten from the head down and not to be trusted with anything.. They may have seen something they want so now they're going to act ?

[King Bean]

"...through the use of force, even though it does not authorize military force."

 

Maybe just asking them nicely to "quit it and play nice" will be the ticket. Useless fools. 

[umbertino]

Good....I would have thought that was an obvious thing and granted to do in the 1st place

Is this why Obama is asking for ground troops in iraq and syria?

IGNORANCE, PURE & SIMPLE IGNORANCE. These are the people that are running the world? They need to be SHOT!!!

This is why things are so messed up. The average guy on the street knows that this should have been done day one. Sometimes you have to wonder how these people became leaders.

ISIS days are numbered, but they should have never been allowed to get this far. How many people have to die before someone stands up. These atrocities against man kind take place everyday throughout the world, everybody here's about them yet the UN security counsel is so slow to react to most situations. If everyone had access to weapons these situations would most likely not occur. Everyone deserves the right to protect yourselves and family against tyranny,or terrorist or thieves, or home invasions or entities that want to take your liberties or life. Then life would be equal for all !

Either they no longer have the need of ISIS as a distraction or they wanted to wait until ISIS had a healthy amount of funds which enables them to profit more.
