Abstract:
This contribution looks at the treatment of civilian enemy aliens by the major European States during WWI and how civilian internment became a common practice, integrated in policies of total warfare and justified by concerns over national security. In its second part, the article looks at the reaction from the civil society and NGOs on the internment of civilians, and notably describes the ICRC's efforts to assist POWs and internees and raise awareness against the dangers of prolonged captivity.
