New York, SANA-The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted a Russian-proposed resolution that calls for pulling the plug on funding terrorist organizations, including ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra.<\/p>\n
The Resolution 2199 incriminates anyone buying oil from the ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra and other extremist organizations with links to al-Qaeda, demanding that those involved in such activities be brought to justice.<\/p>\n
Russia’s Permanent Representative at the UN Vitaly Churkin described the resolution as “a significant step to stop financing terrorists which primarily comes from illegal oil trade.”<\/p>\n
It also seeks to head off terrorist threats against Syria and Iraq, added Churkin.<\/p>\n
China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Liu Jieyi said China welcomes the resolution that it considers highly significant to coordinate international counter-terrorism efforts, hoping that it will be enforced along with two previously-adopted counter-terrorism resolutions.<\/p>\n
China opposes stamping certain ethnicities or religion with terrorism, he added, citing Beijing’s concern over the use of the internet to mount terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n
ISIS generates sizable funds from oil sales, stealing Syrian and Iraqi oil and selling it by dubious transactions in Turkey, a conduct that Western countries seem to have not taken notice of.<\/p>\n
The terrorist organization amasses amounts of money from antiquities trade and ransom payments.<\/p>\n
