Sinossi
Excerpt from Swiss Internment of Prisoners of War: An Experiment in International Humane Legislation and Administration
The internment of sick and wounded prisoners of war in neutral countries is an event without precedent in past his tory. It has been tried for the first time in Switzerland in the course of recent months.
Considering that the experience thus gained may prove of interest and perhaps of help in the United States, the Swiss Commission, at present in this country, has brought with it a hitherto unpublished official report on the subject. This report, by Hauser, the surgeon-general of the Swiss Army, who has been in charge of the internment in Switzerland of Austrian, Belgian, English, French, and German prisoners of war, tells the story of this great experience from its origin until the end of January, 1917.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the unprecedented practice of interning sick and wounded prisoners of war in neutral countries during the early years of the First World War. The author, a Swiss military surgeon, recounts the development of this humanitarian initiative, focusing on the complex negotiations between the belligerent powers and Switzerland, the logistical challenges of transporting and housing these men, and the careful establishment of rules and regulations governing their care. The book reveals how the internment system, born out of the chaos of war, was a novel experiment in international cooperation, with Switzerland taking on the crucial role of a neutral mediator and provider of refuge. The author meticulously details the administrative procedures involved, including the selection process, the role of medical commissions, the allocation of resources, and the establishment of regional zones for internment. The narrative delves into the practical concerns of managing a large-scale humanitarian effort, highlighting the need for clear guidelines regarding the men's food, clothing, and medical treatment, as well as the importance of establishing a system of discipline and supervision. The book also explores the challenges of ensuring the interned men's mental and emotional well-being, addressing the psychological impact of war and the need for social and intellectual stimulation. The author's account sheds light on the complexities and triumphs of establishing a system of international humanitarianism in the midst of unprecedented global conflict. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333189846_0
