The Map a Global Law Firm Chooses Matters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A world map is more than a background image. It is a visual statement about how we understand geography, scale and the relationship between different parts of the world.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For a law firm whose work crosses borders, the choice of a world map therefore deserves more attention than it might initially appear to require. Maps feature on websites, in presentations and reports, in international practice materials, country-focused publications and professional communications. Repeated over time, they influence how audiences perceive the relative place of countries, continents and regions within the world. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm has therefore decided to <strong>prefer the Equal Earth projection for general-purpose world maps<\/strong> used in its institutional communications. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This is a practical cartographic policy founded on proportional accuracy, appropriate representation and our understanding of what it means to be a <strong>Global Law Firm based in T\u00fcrkiye<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2. A Global Law Firm Based in Trkiye<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm is rooted in T\u00fcrkiye while maintaining an international outlook across its areas of practice, professional relationships and publications. Our geographical base matters. It shapes our experience and places us at a strategic point connecting Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and wider international markets. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Being global, however, requires more than conducting cross-border work. It also requires us to consider whether familiar ways of representing the world remain appropriate for the purposes for which we use them. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Maps form part of that visual perspective. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For us, the principle is straightforward: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Being based in Turkey defines where we are. It does not limit how we see the world.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">3. The UN\u2019s 2026 \u201c<em>Correct the Map<\/em>\u201d Resolution<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The immediate occasion for reviewing our cartographic policy was an important development at the United Nations. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">On 4 September 2026, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the African-led resolution entitled <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2026\/09\/1168284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Correct the Map: Rebalancing Global Cartographic Representation and Promoting Equitable Representation of the World\u2019s Regions, Particularly Africa<\/a>\u201d.<\/strong> The text had been submitted as draft resolution <a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2026\/09\/1168284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>A\/80\/L.104<\/strong><\/a>, with Togo leading the initiative on behalf of the African Group. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The resolution was adopted by an overwhelming majority: <strong>164 States voted in favour, one voted against and six abstained<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Importantly, the resolution does not establish Equal Earth as the single mandatory world map of the United Nations, nor does it prohibit the Mercator projection. Rather, it promotes more accurate and equitable cartographic representation and encourages greater use of equal-area projections, including Equal Earth, particularly where the relative size of countries and continents matters. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The distinction is important. The UN has not declared that there is now only one correct map of the world. It has encouraged institutions to reconsider whether familiar projections remain suitable for general geographical representation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">4. What Is Wrong with Using Mercator as a General World Map?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Mercator projection, introduced by Gerardus Mercator in 1569, was a remarkable cartographic achievement. Its great strength was navigational: it preserves angles locally and enables a course of constant compass bearing to be represented as a straight line. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The problem is therefore not that Mercator is simply a \u201c<em>wrong<\/em>\u201d map. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The problem arises when a projection developed for particular navigational purposes becomes a familiar <strong>general-purpose representation of the world<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Projecting the curved surface of the Earth onto a flat plane necessarily involves distortion. Under Mercator, area distortion increases dramatically towards the poles. Countries and territories at higher latitudes consequently appear disproportionately large compared with those nearer the Equator. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Navigation and proportional geographical representation are different purposes. A projection exceptionally useful for the first is not necessarily appropriate for the second.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">5. Africa Is Not the Size We Have Become Accustomed to Seeing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Africa provides the clearest illustration. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">On familiar Mercator maps, Greenland can appear comparable in size to Africa. In geographical reality, <strong>Africa is approximately 14 times larger than Greenland<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The effect extends beyond this striking comparison. Higher-latitude regions are visually enlarged, while Africa and other regions closer to the Equator occupy a smaller share of the map than their actual surface area warrants. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This matters because maps become mental models. Repeated exposure to a particular projection can influence our intuitive understanding of the relative geographical scale of continents and countries. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The issue is not whether accurate measurements are available. They plainly are. The question is whether a general-purpose world map should communicate a substantially different visual impression when effective alternatives are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">6. What Is the Equal Earth Projection?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The <strong>Equal Earth map projection<\/strong> was developed by cartographers <strong>Bojan \u0160avri\u010d, Tom Patterson and Bernhard Jenny<\/strong> and introduced in 2018. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It is an <strong>equal-area pseudocylindrical projection<\/strong> specifically designed for world maps. Its visual appearance was inspired by the widely used Robinson projection, but it differs from Robinson in one fundamental respect: Equal Earth preserves the relative size of areas. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If one geographical area has twice the surface area of another, it occupies twice the area on an Equal Earth map. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">At the same time, the projection was designed to present continental outlines in a recognisable, visually balanced form. This combination makes Equal Earth particularly suitable for general-purpose maps intended to communicate the relative geographical scale of the world&#8217;s regions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">7. Equal Earth Is Not a \u201cPerfect Map\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our decision should not be misunderstood as a claim that Equal Earth provides a distortion-free representation of the planet. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">No flat world map can simultaneously preserve area, shape, distance, direction and scale everywhere. Every map projection involves choices about which geographical properties should be preserved and which distortions are acceptable for the intended purpose. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Equal Earth prioritises <strong>area equivalence<\/strong>. Shapes and other properties necessarily undergo some distortion. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That makes it particularly appropriate when the purpose is to show the world as a whole and enable meaningful visual comparison of countries and continents. It does not make Equal Earth the correct projection for every cartographic task. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That distinction is central to B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm&#8217;s policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">8. Accuracy, Equality and Representation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our preference for Equal Earth rests on three related considerations. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">First is <strong>proportional accuracy<\/strong>. Where a world map communicates the relative physical scale of different regions, preserving their relative surface areas is a rational priority. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Second is <strong>equitable representation<\/strong>. A general world map need not unnecessarily magnify some regions and diminish others when an effective equal-area alternative exists. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Third is <strong>fitness for purpose<\/strong>. Maps should be selected according to what they are intended to communicate, rather than solely because a particular projection has historically become familiar. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">These considerations allow us to support better cartographic representation without treating a technical question as though it admitted only one universal solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">9. The Legal Meaning of the UN Resolution<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The UN development must also be understood accurately as a matter of international law. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The General Assembly resolution is <strong>not legally binding in the manner of a treaty obligation<\/strong> and does not compel States, businesses, schools or other institutions to abandon Mercator or adopt Equal Earth. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Its significance is principally normative, educational and institutional. It encourages reconsideration of established cartographic practices and gives substantial international visibility to the use of equal-area representations where relative geographical size matters. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Its practical influence may therefore extend beyond its formal legal effect, particularly in education, public communication, institutional design, publishing and digital technology. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm, the resolution is not the source of a legal obligation to change maps. It is an important international development that prompted us to examine our own institutional practice and make an independent choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">10. Changing the Projection Does Not Change Borders<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For a law firm, another distinction is indispensable. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A <strong>map projection<\/strong> determines how the curved surface of the Earth is represented on a flat plane. It does not determine where international boundaries legally lie. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Changing from Mercator to Equal Earth therefore says nothing, by itself, about sovereignty, territorial status, recognition of States, disputed territories, maritime boundaries or competing territorial claims. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This distinction was expressly emphasised by the European Union and its Member States in their explanation concerning the UN resolution. They underlined that the initiative concerns cartographic representation, geographical literacy and the relative size of continental landmasses\u2014not sovereignty, territorial status, delimitation or internationally recognised borders. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Equal-area representation and territorial recognition are separate questions.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">11. Why This Matters for International Legal Practice<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">International lawyers routinely work across geographical boundaries. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">International trade, sanctions and export controls, arbitration, cross-border investigations, migration, foreign investment, shipping, aviation, defence, diplomatic representation and transnational litigation all require lawyers to understand relationships between jurisdictions rather than view countries in isolation. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A world map cannot determine legal analysis. It can, however, reflect the institutional perspective of the organisation using it. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For a globally oriented law firm, a general-purpose map that represents Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe and other regions according to their proportional geographical scale is consistent with an international practice that approaches jurisdictions according to their actual relevance rather than inherited visual assumptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">12. B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm\u2019s Equal Earth Map Policy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Accordingly, B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm adopts the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bicakhukuk.com\/en\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">institutional policy<\/a>: <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bicakhukuk.com\/en\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm<\/a> will prefer the Equal Earth projection for general-purpose world maps used on its website and in its publications, presentations and institutional communications where the purpose is to represent the world as a whole or to compare countries, continents or regions geographically. <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This preference reflects our commitment to proportional accuracy, global perspective and equitable visibility of the world&#8217;s regions. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It is a <strong>purpose-based preference<\/strong>, not an absolute rule governing every map the Firm may use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">13. Where the Policy Will Apply<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The policy will guide the future selection and creation of general world-map imagery across B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm&#8217;s digital and institutional materials. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This includes website graphics, international practice-area illustrations, country and regional materials, reports, presentations, training materials, professional publications and social-media communications in which a world map serves a general representational purpose. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Existing materials may be reviewed and updated progressively where appropriate. The policy does not require indiscriminate replacement of every historical graphic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">14. Where Different Maps May Still Be Appropriate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Different purposes require different cartographic solutions. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Navigation, street mapping, interactive digital maps, specialist GIS applications, transport routes and particular technical analyses may legitimately require Mercator, Web Mercator or another projection. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Similarly, a legal matter concerning a particular property, international boundary, maritime zone or territorial dispute may require specialised official or evidentiary mapping rather than Equal Earth. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our governing principle is therefore not <strong>\u201cEqual Earth everywhere\u201d. <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It is <strong>the appropriate map for the appropriate purpose<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">15. Borders, Disputed Territories and Legal Neutrality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Particular care will continue to be exercised where maps depict politically or legally sensitive boundaries. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Firm&#8217;s adoption of Equal Earth concerns <strong>projection, not territorial attribution<\/strong>. Where sovereignty, recognition, disputed territories, international boundaries, exclusive economic zones or maritime delimitation are relevant, B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm will rely on authoritative legal and cartographic sources appropriate to the particular context. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Where necessary, maps may also carry explanatory disclaimers. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">No choice of general-purpose map projection should be interpreted as expressing a legal position concerning a territorial dispute.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">16. T\u00fcrkiye at the Centre of Connections, Not the Centre of the Map<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">T\u00fcrkiye occupies an exceptional geographical position between regions, markets and legal systems. That location is central to B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm&#8217;s identity and international practice. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">But there is an important distinction between being <strong>based somewhere<\/strong> and placing that location at the conceptual centre of the world. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our international perspective does not require Africa, Asia, Latin America or any other region to appear disproportionately small in order for the geography familiar to us to appear larger. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Turkey is important to our identity because it is where we are based and from where we connect with the world &#8211; not because our map needs to make our part of the world visually dominant. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That is precisely what we mean by being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bicakhukuk.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Global Law Firm based in T\u00fcrkiye<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">17. A Small Design Choice, a Larger Institutional Statement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Changing a map projection may appear to be a minor design decision. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Yet institutional identity is often communicated through details. A law firm&#8217;s choices about terminology, imagery, sources, accessibility and representation collectively reveal how seriously it approaches its stated international perspective. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Our preference for Equal Earth does not claim to resolve the complex historical debates surrounding cartography. Nor does it suggest that Mercator lacks legitimate purposes. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It simply recognises that when an institution uses a world map to represent the world generally, the projection itself is a choice &#8211; and that choice deserves to be made consciously. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm, Equal Earth is now the preferred choice for that purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">18. Conclusion &#8211; Seeing the World More Proportionately<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The UN General Assembly&#8217;s September 2026 decision has brought a longstanding cartographic question into renewed international focus: <strong>does the familiar world map represent the relative geographical scale of the world&#8217;s regions in the way a modern global institution needs it to?<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For B\u0131\u00e7ak Law Firm, that question calls for a practical response. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">When we need a general-purpose world map, we will henceforth prefer the <strong>Equal Earth projection<\/strong>, because its preservation of relative area provides a more appropriate representation for our international institutional communications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Other projections will remain appropriate where their particular characteristics better serve the task.
