Domicide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deliberate destruction of the home
Notable examples of domicide

Domicide (fromLatindomus, meaning home or abode, andcaedo, meaning deliberate killing, though used here metaphorically) is the deliberate destruction of housing by human agency in pursuit of specified goals.[1][2] It includes the widespread destruction of a living environment, forcing the incumbent humans to move elsewhere.[1][3]

The concept of domicide originated in the 1970s, but only assumed its present meaning in 2022, after a report by the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing, Balakrishnan Rajagopal.[2][4][5] Rajagopal has argued thatinternational law should be amended to consider domicide to be awar crime.[6]

Examples

[edit]

Notable historical examples of domicide include: theAmericanBombing of Tokyo, which was the most destructive and deadly non-nuclear bombing in human history,[7] the bombing ofWarsaw andDresden and the destruction perpetrated by theKhmer Rouge inCambodia.[8]

TheIsraeli bombing of the Gaza Strip is considered to be one of the most destructive campaigns in recent history.[9] Balakrishnan Rajagopal, advisor to the United Nations on dams and Special Rapporteur on adequate housing accused Israel of committing domicide in theGaza Strip during theIsrael-Hamas war.[10][11]

John Porteus and Sandra Smith in their bookDomicide: The Global Destruction of Home also highlight theIndian Removal Act as a definite case of domicide.[12]
