US stands alone in opposing UN resolution on updated world map
The United States was the sole nation to cast a vote against a United Nations initiative to implement a new world map designed to show the actual size of countries. In a statement, the US remarked, "This resolution mocks the work and purpose of this institution...When the United Nations questions why it is losing legitimacy in the world, and is not taken seriously, time and again, we point to resolutions such as this."
