Trusted data on disputed borders for maps

[Helen James]

Hi, We're in the process of creating a map of the Start Network's crises alerts, adding polygons around disputed territories and borders. Our map developers have only found one usable data source - http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-cultural-vectors/10m-admin-0-breakaway-disputed-areas/. I'm looking for clarification that this is trusted source internationally - or is there another UNOCHA data source we can use?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
