UN urges members to take ‘all necessary measures’ to defeat ISIL



The United Nations is calling on member states to take “all necessary measures” to defeat the self-proclaimed Islamic State.

The Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution, drafted by France after the attacks in Paris, claimed by ISIL.

All countries are being urged to join the fight against the militants in Syria and Iraq and to redouble efforts to prevent further attacks.

“Today we send a clear, unambiguous message that there will be no respite from our collective efforts to stop, suppress and destroy ISIL,” said Matthew Rycroft, UK Ambassador to the United Nations, who also holds the rotating Security Council presidency.

“Whether in the streets of Paris or Beirut or in the skies above the Sinai, ISIL’s brutality knows no bounds and respects no borders. ISIL’s determination to carry out attacks around the world must be met by our greater resolve to defeat them wherever we find them.”

It comes as France bolsters its military action against ISIL. Its aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has been deployed to the eastern Mediterranean. The French Ambassador to the UN says it will triple striking capabilities.

The fat cats of the UN had no problems passing dozen resolutions against Israel who is trying to protect

it's very existence in the face of home grown and international terrorisms,

But only now they have woke up from their Nespresso and cakes deep slumber to issue one for ISIS,

Where were you for the last five years or so? why there were no ' all necessary measures ' resolutions

taken against IS ISIS ISIL years ago already?

This thread isn't about Israel, so it would be appreciated if we left that discussion for the numerous threads running on the Israeli/Palestinian situation.

Until the attacks on Paris and Russia, there would most likely been a backlash against a resolution. The most visible, but not the only group, in the fight are the US, which was also against the Assad regime.

Russia would probably not backed a US-sponsored resolution and with Russia backing a resolution, China will follow. It's a matter of politics.
