Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System (Korean당의 유일사상체계확립의 10 대 원칙; RRDangui yuilsasangchegyehwangnibui 10 dae wonchik; MRTangŭi yuilsasangch'egyehwangnibŭi 10 tae wŏnch'ik; also known as the Ten Principles of the One-Ideology System) are a set of ten principles and sixty-five clauses establishing standards for governance and guiding the behaviors of the people of North Korea.[1] First published in 1974, the Ten Principles mandate absolute loyalty and obedience to the ideas of Kim Il Sung, and later his successor Kim Jong Il, establishing them as the country's supreme political authorities.
