| | Concentration camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term is not often applied to camps such as Andersonville during the American Civil War. | | | While the primary purpose of Soviet camps was not mass extermination of prisoners, in many cases the outcome was death or permanent disabilities. | | | In February 2006 a United Nations report called on the United States to immediately close the Guantánamo Bay facility, listing abuses and violations of human rights and of medical ethics, and saying that certain practices at the prison camp "must be assessed as amounting to torture" and go beyond what international law permits. |

| | Comparative Analysis of Concentration Camps in Nazi Germany, the Former Soviet Union and North Korea |
| | The case of Nazi camps is similar where the victim is deprived of civil rights and subjected to arbitrary decisions. | | | The term "usual offenders" must also be employed with care because many of the accusations have one political meaning and origin. | | | Here, one must be careful about the term "political offenders" because an inopportune word or an attempt to leave the country can send someone to the camp. |

| | It is held under a lease negotiated between Cuba and the U.S., which gave the United States the right to use Guantanamo Bay "exclusively as coaling or naval stations, and for no other purpose." Nowhere does Cuba give the United States the right to utilize this land as a prison or a concentration camp. | | | The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, which decided last month that U.S. courts do have jurisdiction to hear the prisoners' complaints, said that by employing Guantanamo as a prison camp, "our government has purposely acted in a manner directly inconsistent with the terms of the Lease and the continuing Treaty, [which]... | | | The Cuban government, in its January 2002 statement, expressed satisfaction at "the public statements made by the U.S. authorities in the sense that prisoners will be accorded an adequate and humane treatment that may be monitored by the International Red Cross." |
