Japan Demands Map Correction Over Kurils | Australia News

Japan is demanding a correction to the newly adopted UN Equal Earth map after it inadvertently colored the Kuril Islands — claimed by Japan as Northern Territories — the same shade as Russian territory, sparking diplomatic tension. Despite voting for the map, Tokyo sees the depiction as a serious misrepresentation that fuels historical disputes, especially after Putin’s recent visit to the islands infuriated Japanese leaders. The government has formally protested, insisting the map must reflect Japan’s territorial claims to avoid global confusion and uphold national sovereignty.
