The United Nations voted to abandon the overthrow of Mercator after centuries of domination and inflation of the countries of the North at the expense of South Africa, in a move representing a symbolic victory against the geographical distortion that accompanied the colonial era.
The United Nations has adopted a resolution that encourages States and Governments to use the new map of the world, the Equal Earth, that is, the Pearl Earth, which states that the Mercator map is not prohibited, but agrees that it substantially distorts the size of continents.
On Friday, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution by African countries encouraging the abandonment of the Mercator projection, which distorts the real size of Africa and other parts of the world, to the benefit of the Equal Earth projection.
