UN Secretary-General Clarifies No Official UN Map Defines Borders Amid India’s Objections
Following India's objection to a world map used during the UN General Assembly's 'Correct the Map' resolution, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres clarified that the UN has not published any official map with borders. He stated the map in question, created by UN Geospatial and displayed on the UN website, is an NGO contribution and not an official UN map. Guterres emphasized that the UN does not define borders and that the resolution addresses distortions in landmass sizes rather than territorial claims.
