In August 2014, the UN security Council adopted a resolution that imposes sanctions against individuals associated with terrorist groups “Islamic state” and “Dzhebhat EN-Nusra”. The decision obliges all countries to fight terrorist financing, recruitment into their ranks, arms transfers, and imposes a ban on economic activity in the territories controlled by terrorists in Iraq and Syria.
