Set of guiding principles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethic

(Other definitions for ethic that I've seen before include "Set of moral values" , "Code of principles" , "Principles accepted by a social group" , "System of rules of behaviour" , "Moral value" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
