The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday adopted a resolution to resolutely address terrorism.

During a high-level summit chaired by Barack Obama, President of the United States, which holds the Council’s rotating presidency this month, the 15-member body voted unanimously to adopt the text, which calls on Member States to cooperate in efforts to address the threat posed by foreign terrorist fighters.

“The words spoken here today must be matched and translated into action, into deeds – concrete action, within nations and between them, not just in the days ahead, but for years to come. For if there was ever a challenge in our interconnected world that cannot be met by any one nation alone, it is this: terrorists crossing borders and threatening to unleash unspeakable violence,” Obama said.

Earlier Russian Deputy FM Gennadiy Gatilov said Russia backed the resolution, and participated in the drafting of a document which mentioned its priorities as well.
