U.N. unanimously resolves to fight ISIS
The United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution Friday urging countries to take "all necessary measures" to fight the Islamic State, following Nov. 13's deadly terrorist attacks in Paris.
The 15-0 vote included Russia, a nation that has been at diplomatic odds with western countries in Syria, where ISIS has a strong presence. The U.N. agreement did not authorize the use of force, but called for the removal of ISIS "safe havens" in Syria and Iraq, The New York Times reports.
