The UN Security Council is to vote on a draft resolution tabled by the United States, seeking action against Islamic State militia.
The draft resolution is aimed at ensuring all 193 UN member states "prevent and suppress" IS recruitment, the Reuters news agency reports.
UN diplomats, speaking anonymously told Reuters, that agreement is likely between the 15 members of the Security Council.
A meeting of the Council is to be chaired by the US president Barack Obama on September 24.
The resolution states "all States shall ensure their domestic laws and regulations establish serious criminal offenses sufficient to provide the ability to prosecute and to penalize in a manner duly reflecting the seriousness of the offense" and would prohibit all UN member states to criminalise the collection of funds or travel of individuals "for the purpose of the perpetration, planning, or preparation of, or participation in, terrorist acts, or the providing or receiving of terrorist training".
