联合国大会周五投票通过了一份新的世界地图，获得164个成员国支持1。尽管日本投票赞成该决议，但随后对地图中的库页岛（日本称北方四岛）描绘提出抗议1。日本政府发言人木原稔表示该地图"包含与日本政府立场相悖的描绘"，并通过外交渠道向地图网站运营者提出了更正要求1。
争议的焦点在于该地图将库页岛与俄罗斯使用相同颜色显示1。1945年前苏联占领了这些岛屿，随后日本人口被驱逐1。日本首相高市早苗声称这些岛屿"在历史上和国际法下都是日本固有领土"1，对俄罗斯总统普京上月对争议岛屿的首次访问表达不满，称其"伤害日本人民感情"且"完全不可接受"1。俄罗斯随即驳斥日本的立场，称其声明"在政治上不当、侮辱性且法律上无根据"1。
联合国方面表示新地图旨在提供"比传统麦卡托投影更准确的"大陆陆地表示1。
Japan has protested a newly adopted United Nations world map, objecting to how it depicts the disputed Sakhalin Island—which Japan refers to as the Northern Territories—by coloring it the same as Russia.1 The UN General Assembly voted to approve the new map on Friday, with 164 member states supporting the resolution.1 Although Japan voted in favor of the resolution, it subsequently filed a complaint, with government spokesperson Kihara Minoru stating Thursday that the map "contained depictions that contradict the Japanese government's position."1 Japan has since lodged protests through diplomatic channels with the operators of the map's website, demanding corrections.1
The dispute centers on islands that were occupied by the former Soviet Union in 1945, after which Japanese residents were expelled.1 Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin made his first visit to the contested territory, prompting Prime Minister Takagi Sakie to declare that the visit "hurt the feelings of the Japanese people" and was "completely unacceptable."1 Takagi asserted that the islands are "historically and under international law inherent Japanese territory."1 Russia rejected Japan's claims, stating that Japanese statements were "politically inappropriate, insulting, and legally baseless."1 The UN stated that the new map was designed to provide "a more accurate representation of continental land mass" than the traditional Mercator projection.1
