I’m torn between 1948 and 2011. I know 1948 is significant for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but I can't recall if that’s when the UNGP was adopted.

This is a good question to test our knowledge of international human rights frameworks. I'm fairly confident the answer is 2011, as that's when the Guiding Principles were officially adopted by the UN.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the UN Guiding Principles, so I'll have to think this through. Maybe I can eliminate a couple of the options that seem less likely, then make an educated guess.

1929, huh? Guess they were a little ahead of their time with those human rights principles. Should've gone with the DeLorean instead of the UN!
