Author

Abstract

Conditions in Guantanamo Bay prison reveal how military doctors, psychologists and other health workers insulate themselves from their moral and professional consciences in the inhuman treatment of detainees. Even sixty years after the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg raised the issue of medical ethics of Nazi doctors in 1946, the continued psychological distancing of doctors from their morally questionable deeds in war is discussed.

3. Medical care for interned enemy aliens: a role for the US Public Health Service in World War II

Author

Fiset, Louis

Subjects

Abstract

During World War II, the US Public Health Service (USPHS) administered health care to 19 000 enemy aliens and Axis merchant seamen interned by the Justice Department through its branch, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The Geneva Prisoners of War Convention of 1929, which the United States applied to civilian internees, provided guidelines for belligerent nations regarding humanitarian treatment of prisoners of war, including for their health. The INS forged an agreement with the USPHS to meet these guidelines for the German, Italian, and Japanese internees and, in some cases, their families. Chronic shortages and crowded camps continuously challenged USPHS administrators. Nevertheless, the USPHS offered universal access to care and provided treatment often exceeding care received by many American citizens.
