Proscription () is, in current usage, a 'decree of condemnation to death or banishment' (Oxford English Dictionary) and can be used in a political context to refer to state-approved murder or banishment. The term originated in ancient Rome, where it included public identification and official condemnation of declared enemies of the state and it often involved confiscation of property.
