President Barack Obama plans to seek a United Nations Security Council resolution requiring governments to craft regulations and laws to thwart the flow of foreign fighters to militant groups such as the Islamic State.
Obama will offer the resolution for a vote at a high-level Security Council meeting he will chair on Sept. 24 on the sidelines of the UN’s annual General Assembly session, said a U.S. official who asked not to be named to discuss the measure.
