dankor opened a new pull request, #35613: URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/35613
### SUMMARY This pull request updates the russia.geojson file to remove the Crimean Peninsula from the territory of the Russian Federation, reflecting internationally recognized borders in accordance with United Nations General Assembly Resolution 68/262 (2014) and widely accepted international law. ### Rationale The current GeoJSON file includes Crimea as part of Russia, which contradicts the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine. According to the UN, European Union, G7, and most international organizations, Crimea remains part of Ukraine’s sovereign territory, currently under temporary occupation by the Russian Federation. Superset, as an Apache Software Foundation (ASF) project, strives to remain politically neutral and aligned with international standards. Ensuring that geographic data conforms to internationally recognized boundaries: - Maintains neutrality and accuracy of geospatial data; - Avoids political bias or misrepresentation; - Keeps Superset compliant with global norms and open-data best practices. ### References - [UN General Assembly Resolution 68/262 (2014) – Affirms Ukraine's territorial integrity and declares the 2014 Crimean referendum invalid](https://undocs.org/A/RES/68/262) - [European Union Council Statement (June 16, 2025) – Condemns Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, reaffirming non-recognition](https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/06/16/russia-s-illegal-annexation-of-crimea-and-the-city-of-sevastopol-eu-renews-restrictive-measures-until-23-june-2026/) - [OSCE Permanent Council Statement (February 27, 2020) – Reiterates support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity](https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/b/1/448600.pdf) - [NATO Statement (March 18, 2019) – Calls on Russia to end violations in illegally annexed Crimea](https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/news_164656.htm) - [Joint Statement of the Fourth Summit of the International Crimea Platform (September 12, 2024) – Supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity including Crimea](https://mfa.gov.ua/en/news/joint-statement-participants-fourth-summit-international-crimea-platform) - [EU Statement on Non-Recognition of Russian Local Elections in Crimea – Reaffirms illegal annexation by Russia is not recognized](https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/council-europe/eudel-statement-non-recognition-russian-local-elections-crimean_en) - [OSCE Parliamentary Assembly President's Statement on Anniversary of Crimea's Illegal Annexation – Expresses concern about human rights violations](https://www.oscepa.org/news-a-media/press-releases/press-2015/osce-pa-president-marks-anniversary-of-crimea-s-illegal-annexation) - [U.S. Treasury – Ukraine/Russia-related sanctions](https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions) - [EU Regulation (EU) No 692/2014 – Restrictions related to Crimea and Sevastopol](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32014R0692) - [OpenStreetMap – Ukraine boundary relation (60199)](https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/60199) - [EEAS: Crimea – illegal annexation by the Russian Federation](https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/crimea-illegal-annexation_en) ### Similar project contribution - [GeoPandas](https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/391) - [Plotly](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/3719) - [Metabase](https://discourse.metabase.com/t/world-map-must-display-crimea-as-ukraine/19623) - [Natural Earth](https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/391) ### Notes This change does not express a political opinion but rather aligns Superset’s base geographic data with internationally accepted standards, consistent with other open datasets and widely used mapping providers (e.g., Natural Earth, OpenStreetMap, UN geospatial data). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
