UNITED NATIONS - The United Nations Security Council is expected to adopt new measures Thursday to stem the flow of cash to terrorists of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS).
For the first time, finance ministers of the 15-nation council will meet to adopt a resolution. The text is aimed at expanding and strengthening the current sanctions framework in place against al-Qaida to focus on the Islamic State group.
“This resolution – if it passes, which we believe it will – will be a new piece of international law,” U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power, the council president, told reporters on Wednesday.
