Ten great principles of the Establishment of the Unitary Ideology System
hit : 10004    (2012-06-29)
Ten great principles of the Establishment of the Unitary Ideology System is the highest norm that governs the daily lives of North Korean people. It was proposed by Kim Yong-Ju (the youngest brother of Kim Il-Sung) in 1967 and officially declared by Kim Jong-il in 1974. It is consists of 10 main principles and 65 specific directives which governs the thoughts and behavior of North Korean people. By idolizing Kim Il-Sung’s ruling, the 10 principles operate as legal tools to restrain people’s freedom of politics, religion and expression, as well as a justification for harsh punishment if not followed.
