I believe the answer is:

enshrine

(Other definitions for enshrine that I've seen before include "Preserve (an idea) so that it will be respected" , "Hold sacred - protect" , "Preserve (something) in a form ensuring respect" , "Protect and preserve in law" , "Preserve and cherish as in holy place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
