There are currently a record-setting number of forcibly displaced persons in the world. This number continues to rise as solutions to alleviate humanitarian catastrophes of large-scale violence and displacement continue to fail. The likelihood of the displaced returning to their homes is becoming increasingly unlikely. In many cases, their homes have been destroyed as the result of violence. Why are the homes of certain populations targeted for destruction? What are the impacts of loss of home upon children, adults, families, communities, and societies? If having a home is a fundamental human right, then why is the destruction of home not viewed as a rights violation and punished accordingly? From Bureaucracy to Bullets answers these questions and more by focusing on the violent practice of extreme domicide, or the intentional destruction of the home, as a central and overlooked human rights issue.

Recenzii

“This innovative and noteworthy book adds an important perspective to human rights scholarship with valuable insight into the use of domicide as a political and military strategy.”

"Tracking the widespread and often unseen practices of domicide – the deliberate destruction of home – this book forces us to rethink the meaning of home as a human right. Clear, rigorous, and persuasive, it makes the need for a Convention Against Domicide an urgent and necessary endeavor."

Descriere

From Bureaucracy to Bullets uses eight compelling case studies—from five continents and spanning the 20th and 21st centuries—to explore the concept of extreme domicide, or the intentional destruction of home as a result of political violence. Moving beyond mere description, From Bureaucracy to Bullets identifies common factors that contribute to extreme domicide, thereby providing human rights actors with a framework to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
