International Boundaries Lines Level 0 - UNmap (2018)
United Nations map (known as UNmap) is a worldwide geospatial database consisting of country and geographic name information on a global scale. The data is designed for the production of cartographic documents and maps, including their dissemination via public electronic networks, for the Secretariat of the United Nations.The United Nations maintains the Data as a courtesy to those who may choose to access the Data. The Data is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
Disclaimers:
- The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations.
- The designations employed and the presentation of material on this map do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
- Dotted line represents approximately the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir agreed upon by India and Pakistan.
- The final status of Jammu and Kashmir has not yet been agreed upon by the parties.
- Final boundary between the Republic of Sudan and the Republic of South Sudan has not yet been determined.
- Final status of the Abyei area is not yet determined.
- A dispute exists between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas).
Generalization parametrisation for the data is developed based on the work of Douglas and Peucker (1973), Wang (1996) and the Polynomial Approximation with Exponential Kernel algorithm.The adequate generalized data should be used for the intended dissemination scale and not rely on software or platform-automated generalization as some specific geographic features are removed at scales. For instance, the region of Abyei is not included at the scale of 1:25 million but is included at lower scales.
Maps produced using this layer should be featured with the appropriate disclaimer depending on the shown area.
