Buildings in the Gaza Strip reduced to rubble during the 2023 Israel-Hamas War.

Domicide (from Latin domus, meaning home or abode, and caedo, meaning deliberate killing) is the widespread destruction of a living environment, forcing the incumbent humans to move elsewhere.[1][2] In a human rights context, domicide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of housing and basic infrastructure, making an area uninhabitable.[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.[3][4][5]

Notable historical examples of domicide include the destruction of Warsaw and Dresden during World War II and the Khmer Rouge's destruction in Cambodia.[6] Experts have argued that international law should be amended to consider domicide a war crime.[7]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
