United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on the members of the world body to implement the sanctions imposed on the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" [ISI] militants on Tuesday.

In a report to the UN Security Council on the world body’s political mission in Iraq on Tuesday, Ban wrote, "Member states must meet their obligation to implement and enforce the targeted financial sanctions, arms embargo and travel ban imposed on "ISIL.""

Ban further denounced the crimes being committed by the militant group, describing their acts of terrorism and violence as "extremely disturbing."

Al-Qaeda-linked groups, including "ISIL," have been listed as terrorist entities under sanctions by the UN.
