UN approves resolution in support of map showing Africa's true size

The UN has approved a resolution supporting the use of maps that accurately represent Africa's true size. This initiative encourages a global shift away from the Mercator map. The United States was the only nation to oppose the resolution, expressing concerns that the move was driven by ideological motives. Additionally, the U.S. argued that the focus on map accuracy served as a distraction from more critical international issues currently facing the global community.
