International status

Self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, not a UN member state

The Cook Islands are self-governing and conduct many external relations in their own name, but they are not a UN member state and remain in free association with New Zealand.

Emblem World includes UN member states, territories, regions and culturally distinct places. This status note gives recognition context only; Emblem presents culture and memory, not a political endorsement.
