The U.S., the U.K. and France have moved a fresh proposal in the United Nations Security Council to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed Chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, a listing that will subject him to global travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo.

The Security Council Sanctions Committee will have 10 working days to consider the fresh proposal submitted by the three members.
