Hello,
My understanding is that the "EH" ISO code that you've added here applies to he former state of Western Sahara, not the territory held by the Polisario Front, which is what you've added it to. I believe that I remember reading somewhere that both SADR and Morocco applied to use EH and both were denied (but I can't currently find a source for that).
Best Regards,
Andy -

Thanks Andy,
I moved the codes to the label of "Western Sahara" on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/89349158

Thanks - the territory of the "Official full territory as recognized by United Nations" is also in OSM at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2559126 (and already has the tag).

I just added the code for the second time (and reverted myself).
I opened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:ISO_3166-2#Is_EH_code_referring_to_currently_existing_entity%3F_Or_only_to_defunct_country%3F in hope of tracking down some sources

Hmm - maybe I was misremembering what I'd seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.eh (note - that's for the ccTLD .eh, _not_ the ISO3166-1:alpha2 code EH).
We'll see what people say at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:ISO_3166-2#Is_EH_code_referring_to_currently_existing_entity%3F_Or_only_to_defunct_country%3F . I'm guessing that the answer will be effectively the same. See also https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-2017-007241_EN.html for another source that takes it as read that "EH" applies to the whole of https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2559126 , not just https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5441968 .
