Which of the following statements correctly describes the recent addition of historic sites in South Africa to the UNESCO World Heritage List?

Solution

The correct statement is that the sites were nominated under the title 'Human Rights, Liberation Struggle and Reconciliation: Nelson Mandela Legacy Sites'. Option A is incorrect because the historic sites related to Nelson Mandela, not Mahatma Gandhi, were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Option C is incorrect as the nomination was supported by delegates from various countries, including Italy, South Korea, Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, Japan, and Italy, not just African countries. Option D is incorrect because UNESCO was founded in 1945 and is headquartered in Paris, France, not in 1947 and not in Geneva, Switzerland. Option E is incorrect as the nomination was supported, not opposed, by delegates from Italy and South Korea. Therefore, the most accurate statement is Option B, reflecting the proper title under which the sites were nominated.
