UNGA Approves Map Correction Resolution
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution aimed at correcting the world map to promote fairer representation of regions, particularly Africa, by adopting the Mercator projection, which evenly distributes areas and reduces map distortions that have historically minimized the size of Africa and other regions away from the equator. The resolution points out that historical distortions in continent representations have contributed to an imbalanced view of the world and encourages adopting this projection to improve geographic accuracy. It also calls on countries and organizations to use it to achieve a more precise representation of continental areas. The resolution was approved by 164 members, with the United States opposing, other countries supporting, and six abstaining.
