draft resolution to be submitted to the UN Security Council takes "explicit†aim
at the Islamic State (ISIS) group and its lucrative trade in oil, French finance
minister Michel Sapin said in an interview Wednesday.
Sapin said the resolution,
to be debated Thursday, would send a "very strong political message: the fight
against the financing of terrorism is one of the priorities of the United
Nations’ members and every state must take the necessary measures.â€And ahead of
Thursday’s meeting with of all 15 finance ministers of Security Council member
states — the first of its kind — Sapin warned that countries that fail to turn
off the tap on jihadists’ funding could potentially face sanctions.France
requested the meeting following the terror attacks in Paris last month that left
130 people dead and were claimed by the ISIS.
Based on an earlier resolution
targeting Al Qaeda, the new text "will be explicitly extended to Daeshâ€, Mr
Sapin said.He added that it will "in particular aim for the freezing of assets
that in one way or another stem from oil smugglingâ€."It will also demand that
states exercise special vigilance with regard to the smuggling of works of art
that could feed big movements like Daesh,†the minister said.
Meanwhile, the ISIS
is looking at potentially vulnerable oil assets in Libya and elsewhere outside
its Syria stronghold, where the militant group controls about roughly 80 per
cent of the oil and gas fields, a senior US official said on Tuesday.The
official on condition of anonymity said the US was carefully examining who
controlled oil fields, pipelines, trucking routes and other infrastructure.
