UN updates world map to include Western Sahara
The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a new map depicting Western Sahara within its internationally recognized borders as a separate and independent territory from Morocco. This decision, which was supported by 164 members, with one vote against and six abstentions, aims to affirm the geographic and political distinction between the region and Morocco, and to reject attempts to conflate the two in maps and official documents. The move seeks to encourage the use of more accurate maps, such as those produced by 'Equal Earth,' and reflects a clear position regarding the unchanged legal status of Western Sahara, which remains on the United Nations agenda as a decolonization issue.
