The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution Thursday aimed at disrupting revenue that ISIS gets from oil and antiquities sales, human trafficking, shakedowns and other criminal activities, NBC News reported.
The updates require United Nation member countries to move more forcefully to stem ISIS's funding sources, freeze the assets and travel of ISIS members, and share information about the group's support networks.
But the finance ministers stressed that the measures means little without the individual nations working to identify and target ISIS operations within their borders and enlisting the participation of banks and other private financial institutions. ISIS still relies on access to the international financial system, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who chaired the meeting, said.
