The United Nations report discusses the adoption of a resolution to improve the accuracy of world maps so that they more truly represent the actual sizes of the continents, with a special focus on expanding Africa's representation and reducing that of the United States. The resolution aims to promote the use of map models based on "equal-area projection" to correct distortions caused by Mercator's methodology, which tends to exaggerate the size of regions far from the equator, such as Africa. The resolution was supported by 164 countries, with the United States opposing it and six members abstaining, all in an effort to modify global perceptions and achieve greater justice and equality in the representation of land on maps.
