International boundaries in two versions using US DoS LSIB for boundaries and U.S. Geological Survey for coastline data.

International: Balanced world view for use by international non-governmental organizations. Disputed areas follow recommended representation used by the UN Clear Map. UN agencies should use official layers at the UN Geospatial Hub.

All: Conservative world view that dissagregates all disputed areas. Useful if applying customized area aggregations.
